I understand your point of view but I have been a live for a long time and have lived in all parts of this country except the mid-west. I have seen and dealt with cops from coast to coast, north and south.
I appreciate that the cops you know are cool. Your 90% figure is bullshit frankly. When cops look at regular people they are suspicious. They are constantly looking for some violation or rule breakage to some degree. They see themselves as powerful over the people and they abuse it. Don't get me started on the SFPD narcotics unit. Fuckers used to bring dope home to give to their friends AFTER tearing some family apart. Kids toys handed out to friends. They didn't like me much when I asked "what happened to the kid that used to own that toy?"
I know there are cool cops. I have known a couple over the years. 90% are good? No freakin way. 40% tops and even that is a stretch.
Civil asset forfeiture? All cops are on board with that because it supports the department. Too many horror stories.
Cops protect the beast (system). Period. It is their job.
As shitty as it feels now, you're right.
My perspective has been surprisingly positive. I hadn't really thought about much larger cities, where that very much so is the case.
I apologize.
The biggest city in my state is smaller than most states 2nd or 3rd largest cities.
