You are probably correct, Hermann, but that is a long term solution.
I occupy the niche between cops and Joe Sixpack, working in corrections, and I side firmly with the Six Packers of the world - not stopping for a non-crime. If what I am doing is legal, then leave me alone.
I have had to use force in my job, thought was required before I got into it, but TRAINING kicks in when it's right there in your face, and TRAINING is what keeps staff/officers out of trouble during those times of reacting/no concious thought. What you have here is training to over-react, training to ride roughshod over civil liberties. If the training is conducted with an eye towards freedom and liberty, and followed up with direct supervision and immediate action to correct by self-same supervisors, then this will cease. Since the big dog at the top feels what's going on is quite all right, that will not occur.
There are two type of people who may be legally discriminated in most parts of the country - gun owners and smokers.
