3. Funny How Both Guys

automatically assume that the police are targeting them. Is there a reason for them to think so?

How would the guy in the first video feel if it turned out that the cops were keeping an eye an a suspected meth lab in the neighborhood - near where his kid played or he himself walked by every day?

Would the guy in the second video feel better if the heavily armored police vehicles were turned against gangbangers or OWS protestors? Because that's the usual reason for the military-style armament.
