You can start your education with asking someone of NA, AA, or latino descent, especially one that dresses differently from societal norms, what their experiences with police have been like.

Or you can just admit that a society where a cop can kick down the door of the wrong house, murder the occupants, and get a medal is probably not a shining example of freedom.

Edited to add: Or from another angle: a society where cops can stop you when you aren't doing anything wrong or illegal, take any money you happen to have, not charge you with a crime, and you're shit out of luck.
