Perpetual paranoia and fear, coupled with separation from identifying themselves as 'one of us' ('the civies'), added to cowardice, and the knowledge that they can squeeze a trigger, even on the -wrong- person, and, more often than not, get a three day paid leave, and a white-washed review by the DoJ.
Been going on forever, and it's -not- getting any better.
They've shot and killed several persons in various parts of Alaska in the last couple of years using protocols that would -never- have been permitted here 20 years ago, let alone 30.
The 'officer friendly' that came to your kindergarten class when you were 5, and who the teacher pointed to, and said, "This is who you should find if you're ever lost and frightened," is becoming a rare find today.
Many of them want a ninja suit and an MP5K to play war with; and every citizen that they don't personally know is a potential target.
They've killed folks more innocent than you and I, and gotten away with it for years now.
They are -not- my or my family's friends, nor are they our 'protectors' anymore.

SS, I grew up down here in FL....As far as I'm concerned, Bay County's a fucking redneck dump of a county, I'm not surprised you were hassled so much in so little time...Southern Sarasota County's similar, if you're driving through the North Port area, just drive through---the cops are going to hassle you one way or the other if you're "idling" along, so to speak. Everyone I know that's ever lived or been through there's been harassed by the piggies, even ME--and I was only friggin' 12! I was walking 4 blocks to my best friend's house with her younger sister (who was maybe 10 or 11 at the time) and this pissy god damn asshole of a cop drove by, hit the brakes, backed up 2 BLOCKS back to us, and accused us of calling him a pig when he drove by. That blow-hard dick was looking for someone to pick on, and the POS settled on 2 pre-teens....North Port cops have always had a reputation for being total losers, on & off-duty, even way back in the day when the force only had 4 cops (back in the days of 1 car & 2 horses, which was when I lived there)I never went back to Bay county Florida again.
