]]>Of course, police brutality in the West usually comes about because of the need to protect the private property of the “haves” from the “have-nots.” And, to squash protests over U.S. imperialism.

As an officer of the law you thereby agree that all aspects of the law are perfect and are with out defect, that all crime is immoral and that the criminal must be punished/apprehended, and lastly that his/her own judgment (as a police officer) is an extension of the law. The officer by virtue of his job can not understand that the law is unjust.

Yes, a police officer’s job is difficult. Yes, people shouldn’t provoke the police. I’m in aggreement with you 100% on that. Their job however is to deal with that stress. As a community, we give them the authority to act on our behalf to keep the peace. This doesn’t give them carte blanche to use “whatever means necessary” to do their job though.
It’s true, I could be oversimplifying this, but I just can’t get past the fact that overkill is overkill in any line of work. Just because someone is a police officer doesn’t preclude them from making mistakes, bad decisions or mean that their behavior can’t be considered abusive.
