If these things were happening to people who weren't tugging on Superman's cape or spitting into the wind, I'd be as exercised about them as you. For now, I'm watchful, while mindful that I am not an expert in law enforcement, that mistakes happen and even trained professionals sometimes over-react, that procedures aren't always followed, that procedures aren't always perfect, and that government agencies revisit procedures in the face of negative public feedback. When good citizens become victims or government becomes indifferent to public opinion, then I'll worry.
When I was much younger and active in the civil rights movement, I used to think that somehow the police had some instinct that would distinguish a non-violent, principled soul like me from a hooligan or a terrorist. Silly me. Lucky me. Later I came to understand that one can stand one's ground and speak one's mind without poking one's finger in the establishment's eye.
