Yes, absolutely. I think this is despicable and should not be tolerated. However, it's the scale and widespread nature that differs. Most Americans will never be confronted with or even know people who have been confronted with this sort of abuse of authority.

I think the US should be able to do better, although not because it's inherently better in some way (what country is?).
