Because we have a nation of police officers who think that they themselves are the law instead of those who enforce it. Because Americans are consistently subjected to the hero worship of police by both our mass media and politicians. Because most Americans are more than willing to accept a creeping police state, either because they feel safer or because they're too concerned with mindless reality television to give a damn.
