Remember back when your parents would tell you, "if you are in trouble, go to a policeman, he's your friend and he will help you"?
Bullshit. I tell my kids to avoid cops like the plague because the best you can expect from them now is some time in jail; if you call a cop, somebody is going to be arrested. And you may just get TASERed for your effort, to boot.
Cops all over the country are out of control bullies who want total subservience from any citizens who have the misfortune to cross their paths; prevalence of TASERs has given them legal cachet to torture people and they use it with gusto.
See this, for axample.
And here's an example of legally sanctioned murder of an unarmed 18-year old boy: texascivilrightsreview.org - Dove Springs Speaks about Rocha: Who Will Listen? (From Grits for Breakfast)
And it just gets worse.
