Not all police officers are bad.. Yes, the legal system has it's injustices but there are good cops out there who look out for people and do the right thing. Don't hate all cops.. What happens if you ever get hurt? Or something bad happens to a family member of yours? Who are you going to call, a crackhead?
Not everyone is out to get you, relax.

what's stopping mexican cartels and your local crime lords from walking into your front door taking everything you have?
The threat of the law keeps you and your family safe. Period. The fact that the police, FOR THE MOST PART, are still doing their jobs. BUT it's a thankless job.

your complete ignorance of what my avatar is yet another example as to why i don't converse with people like you about certain topics
And since you want facts,here's some more for you

It seems clear that the U.S. penal system discriminates against minorities. Some of this is socioeconomic, as poorer people, disproportionately blacks and Hispanics, may commit more crimes.
Much of the inmate explosion and racial disparities, however, grow out of the way the United States treats illegal drugs. It began several decades ago with harsher penalties for crimes involving crack cocaine, which was more widely used by blacks, than powder cocaine, which was more likely to involve whites. A larger issue is how the U.S. criminal justice system differentiates in its treatment of drug sellers — who get the book thrown at them — versus drug users, who, at most, get a slap on the wrist.
A hypothetical example: A black kid is arrested for selling cocaine to the members of a fraternity at an elite university. The seller gets sent away for 25 years. The fraternity is put on probation for a semester by the university and nothing else.
In all likelihood, the convicted seller is quickly replaced, and few of the fraternity kids change their drug-use habits. The lesson: neither the supply nor the demand has changed, and the prison population grows.

Another former inmate has reached a proposed multimillion-dollar settlement with the city of Chicago after spending years in prison after being beaten into confessing by detectives working under disgraced former police Cmdr. Jon Burge.
Roderick Drew, a spokesman for the city's Law Department, confirmed that the City Council Finance Committee is set to vote Friday on the $ 10 million settlement for Eric Caine, who was released from state prison in 2011 after serving 25 years for a double murder he did not commit.
The Caine settlement would bring the tab on Burge cases to nearly $ 70 million when legal fees are counted. So far this year, police misconduct lawsuits overall have cost the city at least $ 54 million.
----------
and for those that don't know, this former police chief name Jon Burge was responsible for using torture to get confessions out of at least 200 criminal suspects between 1972 and 1991..
we have countless stories of people going to prison for crimes they didn't commit, so much so that gov pat quinn abolished the death penalty because of it..just look at this case for example

Doubts about Illinois' death penalty grew steadily throughout the 1990s with each revelation of a person wrongly sentenced to die — people like Anthony Porter.
Porter had ordered his last meal and even been fitted for burial clothes when, just 48 hours before his execution, lawyers won a stay to study the question of whether he was mentally capable of killing. That provided time for a group of Northwestern University students to gather information proving Porter's innocence.

its plenty of stories like this all across the states..and you wonder why we react the way we do anytime we hear or see blatant injustices being committed by crooked ass cops & wannabe cops
