When I see the calls for law and order, I sometimes wonder if perspectives would change if that law and order were actually visited upon you.
Not the getting killed part, but the sort of baseline indignities. Like if you were pulled out of your car and patted down at traffic stops on multiple occasions, or found yourself at gunpoint because you "looked like a suspect" at the AD at New Orleans did at some point (he told them to go fish out his wallet because we wasn't about to reach near his waistband for obvious reasons).
Anyway, perhaps if we were on the wrong end of some of the more aggressive elements of law and order, we'd feel differently. Being on the wrong end of a power dynamic is rarely pleasant, even when you're in the wrong (esp. if you're not).
