Police & The Totalitarian State

"True police power is thus in the citizenry and not in the state; it is delegated, not surrendered. This is the identifying mark of a true police, and the source of its offense to a totalitarian order." ~ R.J. Rushdoony, The Nature of the American System, p.178

"An attack on the local police is an attack on the right of self-defense. When the local police are destroyed, the totalitarian state will have arrived in full force. That great civilian army of local police, and a citizenry with police powers and the right to bear arms, is thus a major target of subversive activity, assault, legislation, and propaganda." ~ Ibid., p.184
The old saying is that "a picture can speak a thousand words." Therefore, it's often necessary to "show" how much something has changed by demonstrating that transformation through images. I've taken the time to prepare a few images for your review.
