"Why Are Americans No Longer Trusting Their Police?"

1. Pretty Simple

State and Federal Governments, have tasked them to do both unconstitutional, and unsavory things regarding the drug war. It represents an attack on our population. Take weed alone--probably fifty percent actively smoke it, and about 90 percent have tried it.

Drugs are one of the things that make us a bit less of a pressure cooker--we suffer under this horrible system, work too much, take too little recreation time, suffer unemployment, and even while working, most of us barely scrap by. On the flip side, we see these jerks with multiple mansions, who have bought congress, on both sides. And they are talking about meager entitlements we pay for, and eventually get, while they BUY theirs!!

Who could trust that?

4. those aren't "entitlements", they're "earned benefits"

those earned benefits are accounts, just as if they were a savings account, as you said which we pay into over the course of our lifetimes.

The language needs to change because as long as they are called "entitlements", then those who wish to get rid of them will continue to brainwash the gullible into believing that people are getting something for nothing and that's not the case.

5. Police

The police in United States are thugs in blue uniforms.

'Protect and Serve' has been replaced with 'Harass and Provoke'.

They are the gang in blue that protects their members just like the Bloods or Crips protect their members.

The police in United States have been militarized and their tactics are brutal. Anything that the Military Industrial Complex no longer needs is passed on to the police departments.

The police are not your friends.

They are not there to help you.

The court system is not your friend.

They are not there to help you.

The 'justice system' in the United States is CORRUPT !

Why does anyone in the United States have to obey the law?; When the Attorney General, Eric Holder declared that some corporations are too big to fail, too big to jail, too big to prosecute and too big to deregulate.

Two tier justice system.
Two tier tax system.

The 99% are thought of as enemies.
The 1% are worshiped and protected at all costs.

6. because too many police are way out of control and are abusing the public trust

and the abuses are just horrific
