There's a myriad of reasons for this and I don't feel like posting them.
But, this is a yes list of common realities -
Yes, they do target and profile minorities.
Yes, they do overstep their boundaries and authorized power.
Yes, they do arrest harmless drug users to make quota.
Yes, they do beat down and taze people for no purpose.
Yes, they do profit from illegal means on the side.
Yes, they are NOT impartial in a police state.
Add to the legal system which doesn't work hardly at all and a mountain of corrupted, outdated and idiotic laws that they stil bolster up... How can anyone like the police and not have some agenda?
Pfft.

That's quite the post. I disagree with about all of it, but I'm going to limit my response to a few things. I underlined what I'm responding to in order to make this clearer for all,
In regards to my first underline; you both acknowledge that police do have to arrest and deal with people you label "rabid, dangerous animals" while simultaneously denouncing their ability to imprison.
Further, I'd point out that police do not have the ability to detain people indefinitely nor to issue sentences.
In regards to the second underlined point; drug users are violating the law, as such they
should be arrested. If you've issue with the law itself, fine, but that's a different point entirely because police are charged with enforcing the law.
Anyways, I like the police; they keep drunks off the road, bust drug dealers, and apprehend thieving bastards. I approve of all these activities.
