This is not directed at you personally, but I wish people would stop using  
the fucking Orwellian double-speak term 'police abuse' in place of the  
more accurate 'police crime'.

What we have is a certain class of people committing serious CRIMES, not  
'abuse'. These crimes includes murder, attempted murder, manslaughter,  
assault, vehicular assault, battery, false arrest, perjury, etc, all while  
wearing special costumes called 'uniforms' and getting a paycheck from  
some government agency.

As far as I'm concerned, using the term 'police abuse' is a  
neuro-linguistic programming tactic designed to make people subconsciously  
downplay the seriousness of these crimes.
