This is forced assimilation. A bad crime, but not genocide.
If words are used incorrectly they lose meaning. Which is usually fine, but not for a thing we vowed "never again" for.
That could be a part of the problem. I consider police to be a respected and trusted role that comes with certain privilegies, like carring an overwhellingly powerful weapon (a hand gun).
That's very different from a civilian.
Cool.
