don't think it's too much of a stretch to imagine it happens

These cop brutality/shooting videos may give the impression that the USA is riddled with Racist or Fascists or Power-Hungry pervs who need to 'grind Their Own Axes' but these incidents are still rare in a such a vast country and although one incident is too many, it is best to keep a sense of proportion.

I personally believe that SOME racists DO gravitate to jobs such as the Police or Prison Officers - both in the USA and here, but they ARE in a tiny minority and MOST cops are decent people doing a thankless job under extremely dangerous conditions.

In my opinion anyway.
