Good luck with that.

Because domestic calls are so unpredictable in a gun-owning society, callers can expect to see a drawn gun pointing at you.

The police often do no-knock residential intrusions, while throwing a grenade into the house.

(For non-US readers: I'm not exaggerating. "Dirty Harry" movies are documentaries about living in the US.)

You are reading news on the internet and extrapolating to the entire USA. Yes, there is a real problem with police brutality here, no question. I am not a fan of the police in general. But we are not living in a wild-west hellscape where anything goes. The protests are necessary and so is reform, but these are the extreme cases in a country of 330mil people.
