Well then. Let me put it this way.
You are in a bar, surrounded by your friends.
Three klansmen (or their equivalent racists) walk in. How afraid of you for your personal safety, given you outnumber them heavily.
If they were cops, would you feel the same?
The Klan at least would have to keep a low profile, ish.
The Cops can do anything, and they know it.

I would not be afraid for my personal safety in either situation.
Although I might be afraid that, were I in a bar with any people of color, a fight could break out. Then everyone would wind up detained and I'd be annoyed.

In my experience from before I lived in this town, when police arrive without being explicitly summoned by someone, it's to cause trouble.

I've never seen an off duty cop still wearing a uniform when going to a bar to chill out. Most people who wear ANY type of uniform are eager to change pretty quickly, let alone a type of uniform that makes everyone around you uncomfortable and makes you a target.

Like racism. If everything's "racist," then you can't tell what really is racist.

All that remains is to show that biological systems replicate in such a way as to satisfy the minimal criteria required for evolution to apply to them, something which has already been adequately shown time and again. At this point, we've pretty much proven that not only can evolution happen, it pretty much must happen since it's basically impossible to prevent it from happening.

I really really really think taking instances like this as being generic examples ofUS law enforcement abusing their power to be a tad bit silly. This was one agency. In one state. Out of a country of 50 states, and and nearly 18,000 different state and Local law enforcement agencies (Over 18,000 if you count all of the Federal Law Enforcement Agencies). Even if you lump in all of the news stories about police abusing power, you're still only looking at a tiny slice of US Law enforcement.
