Probably never been such a utopian period.
Yet, if such a period never existed, does that mean the violence we have seen is OK?
Your default position seems to be that a lack of something begets approval.
Now, I think the Utopian period you are seeking clarification about may have been closer when the heavily armed law enforcement people did not really exist. Law enforcement used to have "soft" uniforms, an accessible attitude, and a desire to help the community.
Even in those seemingly better times, we certainly had huge issues, many running deeply below the surface, such as police violence against minorities, law enforcement suppression of voting rights, etc.
That said, I am saddened that you appear to be ok with police violence simply because a utopian time span did not exist.
Perhaps I misread your comments; if so, please accept my apology
