You might want to read the article again.  The full federal report clearly outlines that they had bad leadership, bad training, and an overwhelming belief that they are better than the citizens that they are supposed to serve.  Many of them are arrogant and racially biased.  They are poorly educated about the people who pay their wages.

I like what the writer says:  "But if we should appreciate the difficulties of their jobs — and how well most handle those difficulties — it’s not too much to ask one more thing of police: to be fair to people of all makes and models." 

We want to respect them, is it not too much to ask that those who WE pay to help us, respect us as well?
