"why don't they at least try to do something when they witness illegal activity by cops"

So what are you going to do? As a very small female I'm easily intimidated by their in your face attitude and have trouble confronting them even to ask for their name if they are doing something wrong. Another story I forgot to tell:

My friends and I were in a car together in Atlanta and hopelessly lost for hours in the middle of the night. We pulled over to a cop that was sitting on the side of the road to ask where we were or if he knew how to get back to the road we needed to be on. The cop said "KEEP MOVING" even though there was *no* traffic on the road since it was 4am. My friend that was driving said "But we need help!" and the cop said "Boy I'll shoot you, keep moving!" He put his hand on his gun and we couldn't even get his name because we were afraid to keep sitting there. Once we finally found our way back to our hotel (after 5am) we called the police about it and no one could ever figure out who the guy was (even though we finally figured out exactly what exit he was on and what time he was there) and no one seem to care anyway. The guy driving the car pursued it for several weeks and never got anywhere.

I never said confront the police face to face should you witness a crime being committed by them. There are other avenues you can choose to report bad cops. The press who are mostly anti-cop would love nothing more than to hear your story.

If you don't trust the police to police themselves, then do something about it. Get involved and turn it around!
