I need to preface this post with a very clear statement: I do, in general, fully support the police force in the United States and the need to cite and/or arrest people who have committed a crime. I will even go as far as saying it's sometimes forgivable when someone is arrested when they've actually done nothing wrong (our adversarial judicial system, requiring prosecutors to prove guilt instead of requiring the accused to prove their innocence does a *decent* job of exonerating the innocent).
