Am I the only one in the world who believes the police force, like unions, are growing too big to be productive anymore and are becoming a threat to our way of life? Am I fully justified in any situation to defend myself regardless of badge?
My theory and I stand by it is the only reason an officer of the law has power is because I choose to accept it and the officer has a gun. What happens the day I ignore it and even the playing flied ? Would I be wrong ? Why so many trust random men and women with power like this is beyond me. You wouldn’t let just anybody in your house with a weapon on them would you ?

Too big and too militarized. That there is even a question about firing these cops is outrageous. They should be in jail let alone still carrying a badge and a gun.

You’d be dead as they all came down on you, but I don’t plan to allow my children to live in a police state.
The real answer to your question about the limits of police power to physically abuse a citizen boils down to:
The UberMenschen in Blue can, for all practical purposes, beat and even kill you with relative impunity.
America has allowed euro-fascist styled statists to establish a de facto police state here in America.
The cops are armed and dangerous. Worst of all, SCOTUS has ruled they are not responsible for preventing crime. Look on them as investigators of crimes, some crimes, occasionally.
