1. Your post will likely fall on deaf ears.

The use of the taser is being conflated with the "goodness" or "badness" of policing itself.

4. People under 25 hate cops! The next generation won't vote for any party
That's supports the police state. ALL the criminal laws that have been written since 1967 HAVE TO BE REPEALED! Democrats ignore this burning anger at your own peril!

10. Yes.
Certainly police in previous decades were much more restrained than they are now.

16. Not really.

If you go back a few more years than that, you'll find the police departments of many large cities completely infiltrated in organized crime and every bit as complicit in gross violations of rights as those of the 1960s. Go back further and the police were effectively owned by political machines. When was this golden age of policing of which you speak?

Edit: Ask any black person who grew up during the first half of the 20th century how great the police were back then.
