Because the media conditions us to.
Just watch local news in any town in the U.S.
When the cops shoot and kill unarmed citizens...the media will report it. No bells and whistles. And usually not much follow up or investigation.
But when a cop is killed in the line of duty?
OMG! He's suddenly a HUGE HERO. And there are memorials and long stories on the news with plenty of follow up and then his funeral is covered with great fanfare.
Now the unarmed citizens that are shot and killed?
They are always "bad". And we sure as hell don't see their funerals.
The govt. has got us all conditioned to bow down to authority without question. They start as soon as we are in first grade. And by the time a person graduates high school...they accept that cops have absolute power and that it's "okay" to be searched and ordered about like a dog.
I'm just old enough to remember that it wasn't always like that.
Our parents and grandparents wouldn't have stood for the way cops treat people.
My grandad would have took his rifle and shot the first cop that would have EVER tried to "frisk" my grandmother.
The cops and authorities have no respect for any of us anymore. They don't have to.
The "War On Drugs" has given them absolute power over us.
And if you even dare ask:"What did I do?"
You'll get told to shut up. And if you push it? You'll be in cuffs.
It's outrageous to me.
