The point is: If all of the above people/institutions were never brutal and/or corrupt, achieving real democracy would be a piece of cake.

The function of police should be to protect the decent and honest many from the brutal and corrupt few. Whoever the police chief is, he/she needs to insure that his/her officers do not brutalize the decent and honest many (regardless of their economic status, ancestry and beliefs) in order to protect the brutal and dishonest few. When the power structure becomes brutal and corrupt at the top, massive change becomes necessary. It is especially important that the police do not brutalize those who recognize the necessity of massive change and who protest nonviolently.

The function of police in our society seems to be to protect and serve the rich and put the poor/visionary/mean in jail. If the rich were not so obscenely rich and the poor were not so desperately poor, police could protect and serve all of the people and only put the mean in jail.
