As communication technologies improve, most Americans are learning that police forces include many psychopathic, murderous thugs. Videos of police committing rape, murder, mugging and other crimes under the color of the law are everywhere. It's only a numerical minority of cops who commit most of the offenses, but the majority either abets them or look the other way. Some departments - usually in smaller jurisdictions - stay clean. Many - including pretty much all the major metro areas - do not. In the minds of a law-abiding person, cops become more dangerous than freelance criminals because they are better armed and armored, they have backup on call and the law favors them as well. Many of my friends who are police officers or sheriff's deputies view other cops as the most serious threat to themselves and their families.
