Our police also are a lot different... ours is just an Abrams short of the miltary.

You understand the guy driving the Abrams is also your neighbour right?

The police in the US largely side with fascists. They in large part become police officers just to have power over people. No, not all police are like that, but there are always a few in every department, and "a few bad apples spoil the bunch" as they say. Police officers who try to stand up to these people get punished for it. The rot goes deep.
