cops are paid to keep order, yes.
but unfortunately what this comes down to is that evidence doesn't matter with today's judicial system. cops can "create" and "make-up" charges which can cost someone THOUSANDS of dollars, even though they are purely innocent.
i don't wanna hear most cops protect us and most cops are good, uh... NO. MOST COPS are bad, and there are FEW that are good. you have it vice versa..
the badge they carry puts most cops on a power trip, and if anyone challenges them or confronts them, they use that power to their advtange..which is not only morally wrong but legally wrong also.
there are too many god **** laws in this country, let the people be free, given with basic fundamental laws... no murder... no ****... etc... this country will never truly be free unless you make yourself free.
i only follow laws that i feel are legitamate and have a reason. given this dude in the news probably killed someone, he deserves to go to jail the rest of his life. nobodys life should be taken unless they TRULY deserve it.. ie murderer.
