We’ve had different experiences.
I grew up with 3) cop families in my neighborhood- 1 local, 1 from another town, 1 statey. What they all had in common was their wives and children routinely had unexplained black eyes and dislocated shoulders, their kids were the bullies of the neighborhood. Taught all the other kids every racial slur in the book. One of them got drunk and shot his chocolate lab at family party, because it was “funny” the same guys eldest son 4 yrs older than me- beat me unconscious and locked me in the spa of a pick up truck in august- I was hospitalized. When the kid was 30 he left a bar drunk and killed an entire family- saw no jail time.
when I was 17 a women on a bicycle rear ended my car and admitted fault. The officer at the scene roughed me up, cuffed me and threw me in the cruiser then left me in a cell for 12 hours before contacting parents.
In college I was tear-gassed and shot with rubber bullets while walking home from work- in what I would later find out was a red Sox victory celebration
These are just my experiences and theybshape our opinions. Others have it way worse on a regular basis
