If you're not in the US - how and why is policing fucked up in your country?

I'm in the US and it's bizarre to me how this sort of stuff is considered perfectly normal...

Of course, county sheriffs are political animals — each of the three attendees is facing challengers in the June 7 primary.

Also - shouldn't that flag be much bigger to show how much they love America?
