Don't trust the police.
Yes, let's trust the thugs that shoot at them.

You must've missed the sarcasm directed at your "don't trust the police" statement.

The police lie every single day.
To us, to each other.
They are not to be trusted, and this is yet another example.
Don't trust the police.

On top of that, people lie every day. Since there's way more "regular" people than there are police, don't trust people. Ever. In fact, don't even trust the post I quoted, or my own post.

The average person doesn't have the legal authority to imprison or kill you.
The cops do, and they often lie to make that happen.
If you want to take that further into your life and become paranoid, that's on you.

The average person can still kill you, kidnap you, decide you want to play the knockout game, etc. Ergo, if you're not going to trust an entire group of people, you shouldn't trust all people every where.
There seems to be a misconception here. Upon graduating police academy, it's not like there's guy handing out slips of paper and saying "Here is your license to kill, have a great day!" Police are AUTHORIZED to use deadly force only when their personal safety is threatened. Yeah, there might be some cops out there that take that authorization as cart blanche to commit MURDER, but no sane person would see it that way.

The average person has something to risk when they engage in those behaviors. Cops are legally authorized to kill or imprison you. It's in their job description.
Ah, reading some of your others posts I see that you're a cop.
No wonder you think all people are untrustworthy.
