I’ve never worked the streets, but back in my wayward youth I earned a living in three different brothels and a fair number of sweaty hotel beds. So, naturally, I got to know a lot of cops, sometimes professionally, sometimes as opponents.
 
We had a lot in common. Neither whores nor cops have friends outside the profession. Each is a separate, distinct, paranoid, suspicious clan — a guarded, secret, hidden sub-culture. Both whores and cops have values that set them apart from the rest of society, define how to behave, how to dress, who to trust, what to believe in.

Both whores and cops get paid to hire themselves out in the service of others.

Cops use power, the awful power of the gun, to do their jobs. They sell protection, see themselves as the righteous thin, blue line that protects the lives and property of respectable people — those who have — from the less-than-respectable people who haven’t, but would like to have. Cops feel misunderstood and under-appreciated.

Whores, in turn, use power, the awful power of the pussy, to do their jobs. And whores, like cops sell protection. They see themselves as righteous, unfairly stigmatized outlaws who protect society from the violent, animal lusts of men who, if it isn’t for them, will undoubtedly murder and rape innocent wives, mothers and children. Like cops, whores feel misunderstood and under-appreciated.

Gun power and pussy power are brother and sister. So what will happen if society gives either cops or whores more freedom?

Cops with more freedom will naturally and instinctively become more authoritarian and aggressive. It’s in their nature, their training, their code, their DNA. The thin blue line will become thicker, more powerful, more and more eager to turn democracies into police states.
 
Whores with more freedom will come in from the outlaw cold, become normal, unafraid, tax-paying members of society. And as a result, some of the world’s most violent criminals who live off whores — particularly the Mafia, biker gangs and crooked cops — will lose millions of illegal dollars and eventually be forced out of business.

It’s simple. For a better world, tighten control of cops and free our scarlet sisters to do their thing in safety.
