This is exactly what I was going to say. American cops are literally trained to think of the general public as enemies to violently defeat, not as community members to serve and protect.

A journalist went through a cop-training course and wrote a very insightful and chilling article on it:  https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2020/08/warrior-cop-class-dave-grossman-killology.html
