That's not his point at all.  Obviously another person for whom the article was too long to actually read.

Police kill too many people in this country, nearly 5,000 in the past few years, mostly in SWAT raids.

The police in this country are dangerous to [B][I]everyone[/I][/B], but especially to black people.  Police are to be avoided like the plague, or their xxxx will rain down on you.  Forget about any thought that you have Constitutional rights.  They no longer exist in this country as we see daily in conduct like stop-and-frisk, automobile stops, police brutality in the arrest process, etc.

I am the parent of an autistic girl and I have had the police arrive at my house a couple times when my daughter was having a meltdown and neighbors called the cops, fearing a domestic disturbance.  They are trained to act like attack dogs and my family was in danger both times that they showed up.

They came into my apartment without my consent, they had no awareness of how people with disabilities like autism can act (see "Rain Man"), and if it wasn't for a timely call to my daughter's psychiatrist, someone likely would have been hurt (by the cops) and arrested.

Cops in this country suck today.  They are trained like soldiers, not like public safety officers.  They are dangerous to everyone.  And most of them are not particularly bright.
