Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I have no right to offer my opinion, but I think this goes beyond police

39. We've become a nation of uniform worshipers

We falsely believe that everyone in uniform is a hero and beyond reproach, thus opening the door for some of our worst elements to pass through as saviors who can act out their psychopathic fantasies under the color of law.
Since the election of our first president with a darker complexion, many of our worst elements have decided that it's their duty to even the score by assaulting minorities. And time after time they get away with it because of our police state mentality that became the rule rather than the exception after 9-11. We unconsciously were cowed into submission by a criminal Administration known as the the Bush cartel that demanded total submission. As such, the police were handed carte blanche to act out their sadistic fantasies at our expense. All we need to remember is the way the Occupy Wall Street protesters were treated by police. And all they were demanding was accountability from the Wall Street shysters and big banks that looted the Treasury under the threat of causing a world wide depression or chaos.
So when the real thieves who victimized every tax payer by giving themselves bonuses for failure using bailout money were called out by the public, the police acted to protect the big corrupt banks.
As Shakespeare's Marcellus in Hamlet famously said, "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark."
