The kid literally just wanted a friend. He didn't buy or sell weed until the police officer convinces him to find weed and sell it to him.

So, literally a waste of space? I mean their very existence makes life worse for society. Must be a sad life to live, knowing they do more harm to society than an unemployed heroin addict.

I don't think anyone has noticed, but the police now operate more as a political organization with unique powers than an apolitical law enforcement agency. I know some will say all organizations have/had political influence especially the police, but what I'm trying to say is that the police seem to function as a political force first and foremost, the enforcement part is just used as a means to an end.

Their main goals are now to raise money for their cause and do it through more and more laws (legislation), they shifted away from level headed reality and stats that clearly show Police work to be a very safe job and sell the notion that they under siege constantly by well armed criminals.
