Ah, and you managed to bring 9/11 into the conversation too! How clever.

The cops thug for the 1%. They do the domestic dirty work for the greediest and least compassionate people on the planet. They've been progressively militarized because we the people are increasingly "the enemy." The few I've known as individuals are, to a person, bigoted, conservative, violent, and reactionary. We called them pigs in the 60s and 70s, and they've only gotten worse. Now that epithet insults the noble porker.
