That make it almost impossible for black people to climb out the whole we've been placed in. To say the government is the police might be a little simplistic, because to even be a part of the government you have to have an economic base. So maybe not the government, but the people controlling who gets to be a part of the government. The people with $, who are too smart to even put there faces in front of the bullshit that goes on in the name of protecting the interest of the people.
