I've lived here a long time and come to the realization through observation that the NYPD operates like a private security force for capital. Their primary concern is to defend private property, the people themselves come second. The "community outreach" they do is just enough to keep us from getting accusatory.

Order in the English language began as a synonym for rank. Law and Order meant Law and Social Ranking. In set theory this is the same as the concept of ordinality.

The original Latin reflects the broader meaning of any pattern relationship, literally threads in a weave.
