but this is a huge country,with tens of thousands of police officers who interact with citizens(good and bad) every day/all day.Pointing to any abuse of police power and using it to make the claim that we live in a fascist police state is hyperbole at it's worst.I have 2 cousins who are police officers and life long democrats,I'd like to know how the OP wraps his/her head around that.I'd also like to hear the alternative having a police force.Abuse of police power is indefensible,but it's also important to keep in mind that police are part of our community,our dads,brothers,son etc. and abuse by some is not indicative of all.I would say the same of our soldiers.
