In this context, the police are justifiably seen as an alien, occupying force that is synonymous with state-sponsored abuse.

The Power of Comedy: How a Simple Line From Comedian Hannibal Buress Reframed the Way America Sees Bill Cosby - The Interrobang
http://theinterrobang.com/simple-line-comedian-hannibal-buress-reframed-way-america-sees-bill-cosby/
"It's even worse because Bill Cosbyhas the fuckin' smuggest old black man persona that I hate," Buress said. "He gets on TV, 'Pull your pants up black people, I was on TV in the 80s! I can talk down to you because I had a successful sitcom!' Yeah, but you rape women, Bill Cosby, so turn the crazy down a couple notches."

Sadly, as the battles over health care showed, most Americans are not only completely unaware of how people in other countries live, but completely uninterested in learning anything from them as well. To most of the world with universal health care, it seemed truly bizarre that Americans were fighting over something which nearly all the rest of the developed world already has. Americans are now becoming notorious for their naive jingoism and insularity, and not knowing or caring about what the rest of the world is like.

Midterm Turnout Decreased in All but 12 States - US News
http://www.usnews.com/news/blogs/data-mine/2014/11/05/midterm-turnout-decreased-in-all-but-12-states
Because turnout drops for midterm elections compared to presidential elections, it makes more sense to compare Tuesday's voter turnout to the last midterm elections in 2010. Turnout was less for eligible voters this time around: 36.6 percent voted, compared with 40.9 percent in 2010, according to data from the United States Elections Project.

So there you have it, in an election where pundits raved about establishment Republicans "crushing" Tea Party insurgents, it seems that the GOP establishment has simply appropriated the Tea Party's tarnished brand of paranoid politics and unmistakable extremism. - See more at: http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/five-conspiracy-theories-freshman-republican-class-will-bring-congress#sthash.XKqjIapi.dpuf
