"Police person" also implies that police are people...

i kno, police bad. i jus don come from US so police here is not so bad at all. i really do feel safer when those peeps are around.

so dehumanizing, at least to me, seems unreasonable.

Oh, they're definitely people, just class betraying, oppressive, abusive people, who dedicate their lives to work exclusively in service of even more oppressive and abusive people, in exchange for some power to trip on.

They're people. Dehumanizing anyone is gross and wrong.
