US Police Forces: Little More Than Racketeers And Thugs

[JFN1]

13. "I would guess the good ones far outnumber the bad."

Didn't say all police are bad, I actually said the opposite.

As far as the brush goes, in attempting to identify a problem or outline a solution, one must necissarily begin with broad strokes. I also stated the problem is not with individuals, but with the entire culture.

Here, check this out, it was posted just a while ago by Jello Biafra :

Perhaps one of the most shocking (amazing) details from today’s protest were the actions, or inaction’s, of some of Chicago’s finest. In a surprising turn of events, reports have emerged that numerous Chicago Police officers openly refused to arrest non-violent protesters – some officers even refusing to show up for work. I had the honor of speaking with one of these brave men, and although he wishes to remain anonymous (for obvious reasons), he wasn’t shy about how he and many other officers feel in regards to the ever-increasing police state.

It’s just not right, ya know? I mean… uh… a lot of people think that every guy with a badge and a gun has a thing for lockin’ people up. But that really ain’t the case most of the time… I became an officer to help people, ya know? I didn’t sign up to throw kids in jail for taking pictures on their phones.. and I certainly didn’t sign up to.. uh… arrest war veterans exercising their right to protest… I mean, this is still America right?

But as you can see, the officer the reporter spoke with did not wish to be identified, which is a recognition of the power the police culture has and how it intimidates and represses those good officers who disagree with how the culture manifests.
