You wrote.... "...Police have a tough job, and all too often they go too far. But when they catch a murderer, they are doing their job...." But when they beat the shit out of an alleged murderer later found to be innocent, the cops have violated the laws they were entrusted to serve. But when they beat the shit out of an alleged murderer later to be found guilty, the cops have also violated the laws they were entrusted to enforce. Cops are trained to use sufficient force to subdue an alleged criminal. Any one with martial arts training, such as myself, knows it doesn't take 10 to 15 cops kicking a man already shot 4 times like in Philadelphia. Cops are NOT the judges and juries despite what you see glorified on television. Moreover, every person of color isn't another Willie Horton stereotype. Suggest you start by reading the Constitution of the country you're living w. some analysis as to why these amendments were written to protect all of us. Start with The Fourth Amendment access.gpo.gov then the Eighth Amendment access.gpo.gov and also The Sixth Amendment access.gpo.gov
