… the cops go... and you see what they look like in the United States, use steroid, pumped-up, killing machines and they patrol their beat and if somebody, if they see you drop a cigarette butt on the, on the sidewalk, they're going to show you, they're going to teach you a lesson...

What drivel. Very tw-ish in MO. A propaganda effort from an activist, with a personal grudge against police, who's turned it into a livelihood representing others. The kind of person who got Trump elected.
I've witnessed the evolution of policing in this country from when the friendly neighborhood flatfoot had to move from patrolling on the sidewalk to staying in a police car for their own safety. From carrying a 6 shot revolver on their right hip to carrying that AND a high capacity semiautomatic pistol on their left hip. Then came the semiautomatic rifles and armored personnel carries.
Meanwhile, crime is evolving faster; but, taxpayers who control the purse strings aren't providing the manpower increases to fight it, demanding cheaper technological solutions that the politicians are happy to provide as a placebo. Police found their own coping mechanisms and now the shoe is on the other foot. Police now have the de facto immunity that criminals had when taxpayers looked the other way and threw their police under the bus.
Still, that's separate from actions by a few which shock the conscience. Whether it's crimes by police; or, war crimes by soldiers, lumping all those in a given profession together is a leftist extremist tactic to weaken social cohesion making it easier to divide and conquer in furtherance of personal agenda.
Another four years of Trump for DanaC.
