Police officers in the US are, on the whole, worthless pieces of shit with no regard for human life or liberty. They act as if their tin gives them absolute authority over anyone who hasn't gone through their minimal amount of training and even less amount of interaction with people.
When the people who are supposed to keep the peace see the people they're supposed to help as the enemy, then we have a paramilitary force dedicated to making sure the general populace under their thumb and scared shitless of their power.
My 2c.
Also, Fuck the police.
This is coming from someone who's life has been made a mess by gestapo tactics in the past and I have no reason whatsoever to like anything about anything that makes up a pig.
"A few bad apples," my arse. A few good apples don't unspoil the shit in the basket, is what I say.
