Rudeness by the American police?

The American police are really rude, they do not talk in a polite way and will not hesitate to hit you if there is any problem. They think they have all the control in the streets, they make taxis stop just so they can pass and they insult you, if you go to an IB school, They think they can do whatever they want and where they want. In the airport of Miami some kids of Colombia around 12 years old were stopped because they were flying alone and the police thought they transported drugs. The kids were only 10 years old and they were really scared, they could not even answer. Th epolice kept asking them from where they got their passports, they said they didn`t know but the officers answered that they didn`t know that but they did know how to transport drgus. And they kept asking them where are the drugs, the kids didn`t know anything, they didn`t have drugs. Doesn`t this demonstrate how rude and cruel police are in the United States. Has anyone suffered things like these?

I think you are taking just a handful of incidences and generalizing things which is not in any way fair to the majority of American police officers. Honestly, your assumptions are very inaccurate in portraying the American police officers in general. I'm sorry you have had a bad experience with them but most are nothing like you have descibed.
