That's okay, you were wrong and it's good to be able to admit it. Obviously police don't kill people with impunity (though it has happened, I'm not naive about that) - but also obviously police do good work and help people out, at least they do where I live.

Let me guess...you don't happen to live in a minority/economically depressed neighborhood?

I don't because I live in my family's estate which is part of my trust. And yes, it's a guarded area and in an upscale part of town, but so what - that doesn't mean I can't still be humane and support police efforts. Maybe it takes some distance from the problems of depressed neighborhoods to see where the problems really are, and they are not with the police.
