doesn't make it crystal clear that they are not kill people just because they think they are thugs or just because they don't obey. Only a small minority of police are bad (some probably psychopathic) but they apparently are given the impression that if they kill without legal provocation they will be exonerated. While most police are good honest citizens, do they enable the killers? I think so.
