I keep reading how the public is so upset at the police brutality, they just don't understand

that at some time every public official has been pulled over by a police officer by mistake. For speeding or DWI pr running a stop light with their girl/boy friend in the car. They have all been let go. But the police never forget. Senators congressman have all be stopped at some point. They have all sent an e-mail that was captured. They have all said something that they should not have that got swept up in a recording somewhere.

Why is it back in the old Soviet Union could the police opening beat someone to death, no one could say anything or they might be next.

Why is it that no one in the state or federal goverment doing anything about the out of control police. No one can say or do anything.

Why are the police departments out of control? I believe mainly because they feeling the financial pinch like everyone else. They are angry because they can't control their own fate like everyone else. But the office worker that finally breaks and loses it at work and then is fired does not back a gun and has a union that will get them off.

I feel we are due for a lot of hurt soon, and that we are just seeing the tip of the problem showing right now. Because what can any politician do?
