“So, skin headed, bloused booted, ‘roided thugs————”

That certainly doesn’t describe any cops that I know, and several run in the Marine Corps Marathon every year.

"That certainly doesn’t describe any cops that I know..."

Research the term "cognitive dissonance", go to any cop shop in small town USA, and just perhaps, tho I doubt it, you MIGHT catch a clue.

Look in the mirror when you are about to go out and terrorize.
Gargoyles? Check.
Black, bloused, cargo pants and combat boots?
Black wrist length, skin tight gloves? Check.
Black combat Molle vest/body armor, with SWAT tab, 6 14 round mags totaling 111 HP +P+ rounds, and a body cam that's turned off? Check.
Taser, so you can run a little street interrogation? Check.
Drop piece, in case you get a questionable shoot? Check.
Command voice, so you can scream at every 94 year old lady driver? Check.

Cops have used up ALL their good will.
