First....regular pigs, what people usually call...pigs....are not wild pigs.... Second it was a joke, because it is a joke and an insult to call police officers pigs....more so because this name calling is because of the actions of a few...

Most of the criminals in this country are nonviolent offenders who are dealt with in a violent fashion. That fosters resentment. Resentment fosters revolution. I think someone set this country up to fall.

I disagree DeusEx. I think it is far better to resist unlawful arrest and detention than to submit to it and encourage it. If the police treated their employers with more respect, they would receive more in return. If the citizens treated their employees with more respect, situations wouldn not escalate as often. Clearly it's a two sided problem. Cops are more easily corrupted than citizens, because they hold more power. Therefore it is the cop's responsibility to start off each engagement on the right foot so as not to be perceived as a rabid pig.
If the cop is chasing someone, or the person they wish to talk to flees or attacks, obviously then different rules apply. The initial 'interview' must be conducted with civility and respect. Most cops are really good about this, they know from experience how important it is to conflict resolution. Pigs don't know a damned thing about conflict resolution, above and beyond CHARGE!
Social problems yes, encouraged by society, punished by government. That's a double standard because it doesn't occur in affluent communities. When was the last time you read about a CEO or CFO or CIO being arrested for coc aine possession, or marijuana possession, or for having sex with minors or for selling drugs, or for assault (and we're not talking about the rich, or the rich and famous, we're talking about the strict RICH, the under the radar playas) They do these things too, and astonishingly in greater numbers than their plebian counterparts, because they have developed a lust for power. Drugs will make you do terrible things, power is the most addictive drug of all. This is fact.
The system that's bordering on malicious when you look at it from a distance. On one side of the city a black teenager is being rounded up, booked, forced into slave labor, and damaged in a hundred other ways too numerous and horrible to get into - for selling a chemical stimulant on a streetcorner to make enough money to feed himself and feed his vanity. On the other side of town, in a seventy story office building, and executive is negotiating the sale of 4 million tons of highly addictive caffeine from decaffinated coffee residue so he can make and market a new, stronger caffeine pill, bolstered and insured of success by a subliminal marketing strategy, and covert, social engineer promotion staff who ACTUALLY pretend to not work for the company while they pitch its products to their friends. Oh yeah, I forgot, to feed himself and his vanity.
Do you mean to tell me Pharma execs kill fewer people per year than drug dealers? The facts are clear when you compare the actual impact of white collar and no collar crime. White collar crime is the more insidious by far. And perhaps, I mean maybe just maybe if our society wasn't so two faced and duplicitous people wouldn't feel the need to shun its graces in favor of violence and conflict.
