I couldn't agree more. Sorry to hear about the police brutality, but as you said, power corrupts, and not just in a very small minority of pigs like idealists would believe. You are certainly not alone in your experiences. And usually, like in your case, the pigs will get off the hook because there's nobody to punish them that they aren't close bedfellows with.
