Our law enforcement officers are predominantly trained in confrontational, escalation tactics. They are also heavily militarized beyond what is necessary or reasonable. Our legal system relies too heavily upon internal or otherwise non-independent reviews of reported misconduct, and rather rarely penalizes officers for excessive use of force or other abuse of power. So of course we have police abuse issues; one may argue extent, but I think it laughable to suggest that we have none at all.

Obviously. Not a new thing though...

Definitely! There are a myriad of news stories showing abuse by some police officers and even some onlookers with their cell phones have recorded incidents of police abuse.

We are having police abuse issues whichever way you read it. Are the police abusing us? Yes. Are we abusing the police? Yes. Does any other "free country" or any other industrialized, civilized, country have anywhere near as much abuse in either direction?? NO! (Of course, the yesses above are not all inclusive.)

America needs an attitude adjustment! If that happened, gun sales would drop, so guess who just loves the American attitude of today!

of course we have so much proof and the authorities of America aren't really doing anything about it. Black people and minorities are oppressed by the law so very much but people don't want to believe just because someone they know is a nice cop.

I believe very much so that Police officers (not all) are abusing their power over US citizens.
