I see the police as a reactionary force fighting for the interests of the bourgeouise. However, i know a policeman personally and i dont dislike/hate him. How should i deal in social situations when het talks about his work etc? Do any of you have experiences with this or advice?

I dont talk to cops. I dont associate with the enemy of my own volition.

The only time I spend time with people who I may not agree with is at my judo club.
But let me tell you if a cop joined the club it would be my personal mission to smash him into the mats.

Reminds me of a story. I nearby Club shares its space with a RCMP. The RCMP used to train with the teen class until they realized that the Teens where wrecking them!
Cops are fat and lazy and easy to beat up if they dont have their gun and the law to back them up.

In this context I would love if the cops joined the club. It would let me beat the shit out of them without getting shot.
