In developed countries they serve the people instead of just the ruling class. Get out of your country sometime. Not everywhere is as bleak as yours.

I wonder where you think I'm from..

Either way, you're the one who needs to expand their narrow view, not me.. Here are some links I happen to have to hand, feel free to look things up for yourself in your own time (lol, as if..)

It's a structural property of capitalism, not any nations specific implementation of policing.
