No, we assume cops act according to cop culture. There are exceptions, but they all "fit the description." They've dehumanized anyone who's not a cop, other than maybe rich people and conservative politicians. Sure, there are some cops who don't view citizens as vermin, but they are irrelevant to the problem.
You have an irrational hatred of police.
Police are not "brutalizing" people on a "regular basis". And police should not be held to an unreasonable standard.We demand that the people with the power and the weapons to brutalize almost anyone, and who do so on a regular basis, especially now and over the last four years as their authority figure has given them permission from the highest office in the land, be held to the strictest and highest standards possible.
In this country, we hold poor and powerless people accountable at the level we should be holding police and politicians and corporations accountable.
Everybody should be held accountable. The thing is, you want police to be judged guilty even if they do nothing wrong.
At the same time, you do not think thugs running around with illegal guns is a big deal, when vast majority of people killed in this country are killed by the likes of Kenneth Jones and not by the likes of Dan Faulkner or Richard Martier.
Everyone makes assumptions with every case we hear about. The only difference is your assumptions fall on the wrong side of history.
I really don't think your anti-police BS is going to be the "right side of history".
