9. Cops seem to pretty much be assholes everywhere in the US.

Even generally liberal areas like LA, Oakland and San Francisco, the cops are mostly still dicks. Oh, and let's not get started on BART cops! Though at least cops in CA are (very) occasionally held accountable.

In their defense it's kind of a shit job, and they deal with a lot of even bigger assholes than they are on the reg. Probably to them it feels like they're remarkably restrained when they don't beat the crap out of certain people.
