No, but while decrying the attitudes and tendencies of some cops, I wanted to make mention of the good things that cops do for us, too, and their sacrifices. I agree with you that too many people who become cops do so out of an enjoyment of power over others, but in any human endeavor, you have to take the good with the bad. For police protection, we will always attract recruits who want to be cops because they have that personality type.
These cops, threatening a kid with unlawful arrest, were out of line and should be disciplined. I applaud the kid for having guts and brains.
