For clarification, may I ask which of my activities you'd see as "working with police" ?

No, personally I don't think all of them are bad all the time (by which I am not intending to justify the concept of policing, but rather acknowledging that the world is more nuanced and complicated than what can be expressed in an all-or-nothing statement, and that those who are employed as police are also individual human beings aside from being state agents; and by which I am not contesting that many or most officers do bad things often or most of the time.)
And even if they are all bad all the time, we still need a conversation about what to do about that; how to do damage-control, de-escalation, etc, no?

How's that leather taste?
I do worry that you may be assuming the worst possible intentions from my side, and I don't feel like your paraphrasing of me captures what I was trying to put across.
I have to say that I feel like this discussion got unnecessarily tense very quickly, and I am sorry for what I may have been contributing to that.
Will have to leave it here. Thanks for taking time to talk with me, friend. I will think about what you have shared with me.
All the best.
