No, in this case we’re talking about cops. The US OSC, for example, is literally cops. It’s a federal law enforcement organization.
Just because cops are put in power by elected officials doesn’t mean they aren’t cops.
Following Peelian principles / consent-based policing philosophies does not mean lawlessness. Again, don’t fall into the mental trap of thinking like a cop. The choice isn’t police state vs mob rule. That’s just where your mind goes because you’ve been taught to think like a cop from a very young age. I was too, and catch myself falling into the pitfalls of cop-thinking all the time.
No. A law enforcement org does not write the laws. They enforce them, whether rightly or wrongly.
