They were the main tool of all the oppression (prolonged cruel, or unjust treatment or control) and destruction in Europe. some examples are: They prohibited normal police from interfering with Nazi police in the streets, so the people had no one to turn to if they were getting harrassed by Nazi police, which happened often . They often took advantage of normal police not being able to do anything by looting shops at will and terrorize Jews or anyone else that was caught in the wrong place at the wrong time
 persecution= hostility and ill treatment, They were the people that persecuted Germans, opponents of the regime (government, authority), and Jews.
