I won’t argue with you, but a couple of points:
In your favor, a study of the Constitution will teach you that like you, our founders were very much concerned that our country should be prevented from becoming an abusive police force or unfair justice system.
On the other hand, condemning all police is a serious mistake. While it is true that most police departments have failings, like the old saying about democracy...it isn’t perfect but it is a lot better than any of the alternatives.
Better to make corrections, adjustments and clean up as required.
Except the police themselves stand AGAINST all those “corrections, adjustments and clean up”.
What’s the fastest way for a prosecutor to kill his career: go hard against corrupt cops. Who’s the first group to throw big lawyers to any cop busted for any kind of corruption: the union.
One bad apple spoils the barrel and the police across the country will do ANYTHING to protect their bad apples.
Back when standing police forces were first being invented a lot of people thought it was the end of civilization. How could things be so bad that we actually employed people for the sole purpose of snooping on citizens and putting them in jail. Turns out, they were right. It’s a job that does not draw the best people, or draw the best out of the people who have it.
