Agreed, but they also grew up in a different type of society!

A blind eye to what? Your assuming I would make a deal with the devil for some cash?? Hell of an assumption.
And sure in countries that have gone to crap the military and police DO help oppress thier own people...thank god I don't live in one of those countries.
Are you in the U.S.?

So did you! What I dont think youre getting is that LEOs come from the same society as the criminals. If the populace is more thuggish, brutal, and terroristic then the LEO will be also.
And again, if you instill fear in the majority of the populace, which I believe is true, then technically you are terrorists. Terrorism involves more than beheading or killing for god, or $$$ for hostages.

All they induce in me is the desire to show off my superior marksmanship.
Cops themselves admit they are terrorists. But not directly.
I will explain. How many times have you heard a cop on TV or in person say these words "our mere presence deters crime"?
Now the only way for that to be true is because people fear them. Fear is nothing but a synonym for terror.
So yes, all police are terrorists.

Unfortunately, the whole organization gets a black eye every time a bad LEO acts up.
And, the times that cops do prevent other cops from abusing their authority or initiate an investigation into the wrondoings of another cop are never made public. So, many assume it never happens.

That is a nasty injury and that police officer should lose his badge and go to prison. Excessive force does'nt justify it.
However you cant lable all police officers thugs on the merits of what a few dumb ass's who should'nt be police officers do.
Thats so narrow minded. Police officers are just people like you and me at the end of the day. People make mistakes and no matter how strictly you vet them there will always be some bad apples that slip through.
They have some unique responsibiltys that can put them in some dangerouse situations. Try to imagine your self, and how you would feel or react in certain instances. If its a case of you getting shot or some crack head with a gun, hell bent on self destruction. Im sure i know what choice you would make.

You only hate the police because people say that you should. Yes it sucks to get pulled over and get a ticket, and its never your fault.
Listen carefully. Trying to fight the police who are there to uphold the law by breaking it is pointless. Seeing someone getting beat up by the police and then running in waving your arms and voice and getting all aggresive is only gonna get you locked up. You'd see that if you had some of the common sense you claim to have.
If you really hate the police as much as you say you do, then you would fight them the only way you can. By learning those laws that there supposed to be upholding and holding them to it. Only then will you have anywhere near enough ammunition to make a stand.
Not pulling some random video off youtube then mouthing off about stuff that you heard other people say.
I've been there and done exactly what your doing now and its you who'll end up looking stupid. (too late as far as im concerned but thats just my point of view)
Get a grip and try to work out whats really making you angry.
