Oh come on Carl. They are not psychotic. I know several people who suffer from psychotic symptoms and none of them are in the leat violent. And in any case the thuggishness of the police is quite normal for anyone whose social function is that ot a cop. The men and women who define that social function and sanction its methods are very pleasant people personally for the most part.

And we don't just "call" them a police force -- they *are* a police force, doing what a police force is supposed to do.
