I think most policemen are "good" (it's complicated) but I still perk up when I see one in my rearview mirror. I used to feel bad about it, thinking that I was paranoid, until I read a tweet that a policeman can kill you without much consequence, and so you have every right to be unsettled. I say this as someone who's sister was killed by a policeman who ran a red light, but was revived by the paramedics. She had severe brain hemorrhages, lacerated organs, broke her spine in a dozen places, and her pelvis in another dozen, and lost the use of 1/3rd of her brain tissue from blunt trauma. And while she was in a coma, the policeman tried to illegally access her phone, obtain blood and urine samples without a warrant, and more, all in an attempt to frame her. And to top it all off, on the one year anniversary of her surviving, she was served papers in the driveway on our way to dinner for "emotional trauma" and his sprained wrist from the incident. The judge sided with the policeman, despite the tire marks, forensics, and eye witnesses that demonstrated he ran that red light. She was fined her net worth, which included her entire college savings. She is alive and well, but will never be the same. This isn't a statement on police or police reform as much as it is an example of systems put in place to protect us (courts, FBI, the internet and its attempt at security) but can with one false swipe destroy everything we've ever worked for or loved. It sounds dramatic, but there are a dozen stories on this thread that demonstrate that. I'm not sure exactly what I'm trying to say, but it's insane how our social immune system isn't free from autoimmune diseases, where the mechanisms put in place to protect can instantly be flipped by a single bad actor. The template is like this: 1) Someone plants evidence on your device 2) Investigators are tipped off or find it 3) You get fired, registered as a sex offender, thrown in prison, flee the country, and your reputation is in shambles. 4) the media, rumormill, or even public statements from government, your former employer, university, etc. are distributed like wildfire. 5) it's proven that it wasn't actually you, you were just framed 6) society bears no responsibility in repairing anything it damaged in the process. You're not guaranteed anything, and not only that, scary news travels faster and further than "redaction-based news". 7) you might as well have committed the crime because you faced all the consequences of doing it in the first place. Did I get that right?
