That could be a part of the problem. I consider police to be a respected and trusted role that comes with certain privilegies, like carring an overwhellingly powerful weapon (a hand gun).

That's very different from a civilian.

I hate to assume, but you must be a white man, and if you're not you're really fucking lucky and should read up a little more about how the police actually conduct themselves and what obligation they have to you (hint: none).

Or ... they aren't part of racist America.

Not everywhere is the white man supreme. Far from it actually.
