for Fair use, but this is an excellent response to the original "respekt mah authoritah or I weel KEEL you" drivel presented by Dutta .

Trust works both ways. Cops have conditioned the populace to mistrust them.

They have no one to blame but themselves.

Dutta acts as if bad cops are punished eventually if we'll just be patient.

Um, that' a big resounding bit of BULLSHIT.
