Listen, their job is not "to protect and serve" and never has been. That was just a slogan that got repeated a lot. Their primary job is to collect evidence while enforcing laws.

They are not above that. That is what they have evolved into. You accidentally trip getting out of your vehicle and you could be gunned down and they say it's justified because they "felt" threatened. You raise your hand at the wrong time and you can get slammed against a counter top for "resisting." This is normal. There is no "above" that.
