Moreover, repeating such statements only makes the situation worse - especially if its repeated on the (inter)national media scale. Most police officers are normal people (just like most people in general), but when the society in general starts treating them as enemies, it doesn't help them doing their job in peaceful and responsible manner.

If police officers were intended act like normal people, they wouldn't be carrying military equipment.

Your implication that people who carry military equipment aren't meant to act like "normal people" would be incorrect even if it were the case that most police officers carried military equipment (which they don't.) The actions of the police in the posted article don't really support that assertion either.

US is a pathological case. I wrote this for the sake of fellow Europeans as well as the rest of the world, because I see the increase of anti-police sentiment (including linking to that "Don't talk to the police" YouTube video) in countries where it's not warranted.
