What gets me is how *easy* they make it
to persuade others (e.g., in a Jury) that
the cops lie, plant evidence, cover up,
enjoy non-consensual masochism, are
unabashedly rascist when unobserved, etc.
It is becoming much easier to require more
than just the cop's word to convict.
I don't think they realize the effect on
even the most blissful/ignorant citizens.
