Cops are probably Fed trained. That way we can have more civil strife which will require a Federal response meaning more Federal training, more weapons, vehicles. This will create a further backlash requiring a greater Federal response, and on and on.
Result: Feds get more power, people lose more liberty.

Santa Clara cops are poorly trained and respond like a gang.

They prolly will charge the guy with 10 feloneys, for half hardheartedly defending himself.

Avoid those turkeys.
