As to your question, has the thought occurred to you that police can be and sometimes are criminals who break laws?
Bold is mine.
I will rephrase it then. What would you like the higher powers to do to create a fair and just legal system?
Prosecute police equably. They get away with crimes that would land civilians in prison, and doing so under color of authority only undermines trust in the justice system -- which is exactly what we're seeing here.
