You're absolutely right! But that's NOT what I was arguing against.

>They also represent some of what is worst about the US, day in and day out, every single day.

NO THEY DON'T! Only a few!!! That's my POINT.

OK, here's a food for thought: only in the US you can get shot for getting out of your car when a traffic cop stops you.

And that proves what? That I'm wrong? Hardly.

I think it shows that the way police treats the population and what people have also accepted as acceptable coming from the police is seriously messed up.

Contrast with a place like the UK, where police are not even allowed to carry guns outside of special units.
