Sure they can be wrong but they need to be held accountable and their failures highlighted when they are.

If you aren't american, why do you care?

Police state isn't about brutality. It's about control. Like where you can go, when you can go, how you should exist. It's pretty much a state of mind. Where the population, out of fear, will accept any restrictions without pushback.

Physical restriction isn't "made-up" outrage. A single case of police brutality is horrible but not the end of the world. Police state is systematic. Also, people can be upset at both. Not sure what your angle is here.
It's strange how you relentless defend authority and cavalierly dismiss the issues of police state.
If the police is to do their job, they will be wrong sometimes. The only way to make sure that they're never wrong is to keep them from doing anything. Americans should stop acting like a pointy-haired boss running over sysadmins. It's getting ridiculous.
Also, if you want to protest police brutality there are legitimate cases all around the country. You don't need to sell made-up outrage.
