I didn't mention slave patrols or restrict myself to a particular type of usian cop, and the examples weren't exhaustive.
It is still shameful to be a cop. Similar to medieval executioners and torturers they're urban outcasts appointed by the state to perform otherwise criminal acts against state subjects. A more apt comparison than "the autobahn" would be to switch out the german nazi uniforms for suits and claim that this somehow makes racially motivated state violence and forced labour acceptable for some reason.
I'm not sure what connection you're trying to make between looting and popular mobilisation. Cops are a protection against systemic change through autonomous organising.
Are you denying that the allies ran forced labour camps and continued the german practice of imprisoning gays?
