Support that statement with fact, not your opinion or contention.
Opinion is always biased on either side, list some facts.  You stated
earlier that the police committed three murders, but no one was tried or 
convicted for those murders.  That shows a clear bias on your part, as
would the defenders on the "other side" of the coin.   
-> I have yet to hear a cop on this echo say, "Yes, brutality _is_ a 
-> problem, but I'm doing all I can to stop it."
Police abuse of power in all forms has dropped drastically in the past
twenty years.  And will continue to drop as departments continue to
scrutinize the activities of their officers.  Very few employees of any
other profession are subject to the scrutiny that a LE professional is.
