Ughhh...now I'm depressed...this planet sucks... 
Apparently only the part of it you occupy, Brian. ;-)
In 47 years on this planet, in two states, a dozen cities, three
businesses, and a couple of dozen jobs, I've never seen a single, solitary
occurrence of police behavior like you describe.
Of course, people tend to be nicer, and bit more "real", in the Midwest.
At least outside the big cities.
Or, "I didn't see it so it must not exist".
