Pigs are just a reflection of the government that controls them. I live in a small town and my interactions with the police have been overwhelmingly positive.
They respond very quickly when called and do a good job keeping the riff raff in line.
If your pigs suck then that's a sign of a failed local government. When I lived in a big blue divershitty city my experience was the opposite. Your pigs suck because your city sucks. They simply obey what they're told to do.
The police are the enforcement arm of government. Really they are the government because they're the ones you see regularly and they're the ones that put you in jail. This inevitably presents issues for a political dissident, because there is every reason to believe they will eventually be used against you for political reasons if you are a threat. If you're a good citizen though you may have nothing to worry about. But it is not hard to get caught up in the American 'justice' system even if you think you're one of the 'good guys'. The huge number of people that get arrested in this country is evidence enough of that.
The police are also in some sense useless. They have no obligation to you nor liability if you get hurt or killed. They don't really deter burglaries. They show up after the fact to collect the bodybags. Private citizens need alarm systems, they need guns. And the police, at least at a leadership level, are often anti-gun.
Are you more likely to get attacked by niggers or the pigs? Probably depends who you are and where you are.
So at the very least those of a more conservative mindset I think need to give thought to the fact that the positives of pigs are exaggerated and the negatives not given enough emphasis. More broadly they also need to give thought to the fact that government is a coercive institution regardless of what political label or political system it flies under, and that makes it a pain in the ass at best, a genuine threat to your personal liberty in many many cases.
