Are we really surprised by this point? The modern police are a collection of state-sanctioned, taxpayer funded, heavily militarized criminal syndicates.

I'm surprised anyone is surprised. Fuck me, I'm a 52-yo white boy and this doesn't make me blink. And it used to be worse!

I'm just glad people are finally coming out and agreeing that they're problematic enough that getting rid of them is justified. That is a breath of fresh air.
