> "[...] justifiably or not [...] extrajudicial and unjust tactics are used"

...how could this be justifiable?

Let's assume that Europe's cops are at 100% capacity to handle their crime justly. That means the US cops can do the same for only 10% of the crime they see. Leaving 90% of the crime to go unpunished. Or they can do shady tactics and respond to more crime at the cost of Injustice.

Obviously the ideal solution is to 10x the capacity of the criminal justice system but nobody's paying for that.

One of the slogans of the Thin Blue Line is "Sometimes there's justice, sometimes there's just us."

Perhaps less people would see fascist, totalitarian overtones in law enforcement if some segments of the police wouldn't openly state this.
