On the civilian over reaction and the perception of the courts..OK a high profile case...Bernard Goetz. Personal experience, in a Colorado barrio (in which I lived for 5 years) a neighbor stitched a bangers car...however he was a former prison guard, so it was ignored by the authorities.

Uh... wasn't Bernard Goetz acquitted of attempted murder?

Yes, he was charged and it was a big trial. Guess I don't see where the "Ignored" part is on the behalf of "The Police"...
Buy the way, I'll skip hyperbole, personal bias, etc, and post a fact:
