Serve and protect?
We train the authorities to abuse us when we allow them to get away with it, without adequate sanctions. The sheriff was not removed, department income slashed, and massive punitive damages and compensation paid to the victim, when they did this:

Of course they will do more of the same. But with adequate sanctions, we would not be reading about this latest abuse.
Complaining without sanctions only trains the animals to be abusive. Every trainer knows you never say anything unless you can back it up.
Ignoring this reality is why were are loosing our liberty and our money to the police-state. Our complaining only reinforces the bad behavior, because we do nothing about it.
