What are "Police"?

The word "police" originates c.1530 France and was used essentially as the same word "policy", which originated from Latin "politia" ("civil administration", "state" or "government"), from the Greek "polis" ("city").

Now that we comprehend the true meaning of the word, we can further comprehend that the "police" are NOT meant to be assistance to the public, but in reality are the "enforcers" FOR the various governments that employ them, to enforce the civil "statutes", "rules" and "laws" that these governments impose upon their claimed subjects (today known as "citizens").

IF anyone thinks or still believes that they are employed to "help" the public, they are thoroughly mistaken, as their only job is to enforce the "codes" to levy fines to create revenue for the "administration" (governing body).

I would suggest to all that you do diligent research into words, and not dismiss their use as common by any means.

WORDS have specific meanings, and are used specifically for a certain purpose.
