| These movies (think Training Day, the Shield etc) plant the idea in the public's mind that police are effectively untouchable and can do whatever they like, so (the message is) you better just cooperate and do what you're told so they don't abuse you. This is an effective way to generate a higher level of overall compliance with police instructions ("Just take a seat on the curb for me") while the average citizen can tell //themselves// they are complying because they are complying because the police are a good organisation (ie. the buddy cop messaging). \\ \\ | These movies (think Training Day, the Shield etc) plant the idea in the public's mind that police are effectively untouchable and can do whatever they like, so (the message is) you better just cooperate and do what you're told so they don't abuse you.

| | Many people believe they "are not scared of the police" - when in fact, of course they are, and for good reason (based on the propaganda they have been fed). This self-delusion arises from the idea that, because a person "hasn't done anything wrong" that they "don't have anything to fear". They fail to realise that this **means** they **are** indeed scared of police. How do we know? Because they are strictly complying with all policies (even those they don't agree with) during times that police are present. Saying they are 'not scared' of police, is akin to a kid at school saying he's not afraid of bullies, because he gives them his lunch money. In fact, the reason he gives them his lunch money, is because he IS scared of them. \\ \\ |

| In reality, police - like other government officials - have restrictions, codes of conduct and so on imposed on them and while they may sometimes break those, with enough perseverance many can get substantial financial payouts by pursuing those perpetrators for damages. The overall system needs to be functionally and spiritually unchallenged so they need to resolve legitimate claims against them (aka payouts), but if they can intimidate or trick you out of following up (e.g. by your sytem-aligned lawyer telling you to give up) then obviously you end up with nothing. \\ \\ | In reality, police - like other government officials - have restrictions, codes of conduct and so on imposed on them and while they may sometimes break those, with enough perseverance many can get substantial financial payouts by pursuing those perpetrators for damages.
