Sorry you had to go through that!

A jack booted thug is a jack booted thug, regardless of whether they are wearing a badge or not!

Sadly, the police profession draws a disproportionate number of bullies looking for a way to physically impose their will on others without being locked up themselves.

Some also use their position to carry on criminal activity on the side, but the larger issue is that the miscreantes carrying a badge are frequently not bright and many are beyond moral redemption.

A police force is a military operation and the soldiers are carrying out the directives and attitudes of their superiors. The fish rots from the head down, so if you want to get the low life miscreantes off of the police force and stop egregiously blantly violations to our civil rights, replace their supervision and management.
