I have a friend, ex-military, very clean cut, pretty 'normal' guy. His brother is a cop. We both grew up in the same rural area. I used to be a punk kid, crazy hair and clothes, but a good kid, definitely not a criminal. I was constantly harassed by police, even had to file charges once against a cop who assaulted me on private property at my father's place of employment. My view of the cops is very different from him. He gets absolutely offended if I talk bad about cops. He really sees them as noble people with only a few bad apples. He says people like me just like to talk up the bad cops to make the rest look bad. Or it was my own fault for being so outside societal norms that of course I would be the target of constant suspicion.
