guess i'm just splitting hairs
at times I would say police/military commit acts that are barbarous everywhere
not sure why this is stated as a typically American conceit

i would also quibble with that designation barbarous to the events you
listed. i don't condone police hubris by any means but there is a
question of scale

brings to mind that line from the movie Homicide where the Joe
Montegna character is talking to an old black woman trying to get her
to tell him/them (cops) where her criminal son is hiding out. in
essence, cops are garbagemen, that's all they are
