Most Americans , more than Western Europeans expect people to follow the law, respect the rules and expect others not to break the rules and so on. Most people do not see the individual as a victim because everyone understands that you comply with the police officer. You do not talk back. You do not argue. You do not run etc. you simply say "yes sir", "no sir" and things end well for all. In any part of the USA, when you are a dick to a cop, your life will take a turn for the worst real quick.
It's important to understand that in the USA, it is always the exact same type of dickhead that "has problems" with the "unfair" police. 99.9% of people just say yes sir, no sir and thank you sir and continue on their day without issue. It's also important to more that the same dickhead that has all these problemswith police is NEVER the guy who says "yeah, I was wrong to be acting as I was" but rather they are always the victim in everything.

I dunno mate, but that just sounds a bit like the excuse they give out for the 'war on terrorism'. Are there 'xyz people' yes. Is everyone one? no. Are the majority one? no. Is it 50/50? no. Is it a minority? yes. But let's brainwash people into thinking we need to do 'insert policy here', 'because.....'.
Is there really any need for a copper to get shitty, condascending, lairy, and lose charge of their emotions, because some guy is being a jerk (or even if they aren't - I'm talking generally now, not just this specific incident)? People can justify/rationalise it all they want, that's what we do, but meh, why is it that people like me can't say 'ACAB' without being (rightly, if I'm honest lol) tarred as an idiot for tarring a whole group with one brush, but the coppers can treat every citizen like a piece of shit with their hi my name is bertie big bollocks, and you better be deferential because I have a uniform on, and I'm mad because my wife wouldn't blow me last night so I'm being a dick and stopping people to let off steam?
