The problem is institutional, not individual. Do not grant cops your unwavering trust.

Actually, I Don't Find It Hilarious
Newsflash: not all police abuse is physical in nature. Captain Obvious would like to remind you that police officers also routinely violate your constitutional rights and, in other cases, verbally abuse those they interact with. Keep in mind, I don't fault the cop for pulling over this particular ledfoot, but just between you and me, I'd rather not have police officers threaten people with what a friend of mine referred to as "rape by proxy." No, I don't think the cop in this video should go to prison or get fired, but a few unpaid days off and some meetings with men who've been raped might convince him to consider his words more carefully.
