The DOD's 1033 Program

"The history of the police force... is that it started in capitalist England, by twice Tory prime minister Robert Peel who suggested that the rich needed a uniformed security force

So it was founded with a specific function, to protect private property.. and today, it continues that function all over the world.. the thin blue line of uniformed LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS (militaristic, google 1033 program) can be found protecting 'private oil' from the Antartica to the Amazon, and can be found facing down the poor with their backs to the rich (just like in the pic) from Washington to Westminster

The police force is a bourgeoisie security force" ~ Anon
