From Yahoo News:
A man was gravely wounded in a gun battle with police in Ferguson, Missouri on Sunday night after a day of peaceful rallies to mark the fatal shooting of an unarmed black teenager by a white officer one year ago. Several volleys of gunshots rang out as police in riot gear tried to disperse demonstrators blocking traffic and smashing storefront windows along a street that was a flashpoint of last year's unrest in the St. Louis suburb after Michael Brown, 18, was slain. Police later said the gunfire began with two groups of agitators apparently shooting at each other.

Anniversary commemorations had begun hours earlier with a peaceful march through the St. Louis suburb. The scene changed dramatically after dark. Dozens of protesters converged on West Florissant Avenue, which bore the brunt of last summer's rioting, and chanted: "Shut it down" in the midst of a severe thunderstorm.

Really? Where did I use the word "all" or say anything similar? And even in cases where a specific cop does not violate people's rights themselves, they will often stick up for and lie for cops that do.

Don't you know, when one muslim does something terrible, any muslim who does nothing is actually condoning it.
But when one cop does something terrible, other cops have no responsibility at all.
That's the difference between being a member of a widely distributed religion and being a cop with a clearly defined management hierarchy.

Because cops are usually incompetent, racist, and outright malicious.
Right there.

What part of "usually" is not clear? Even the ones who don't do the rights violating tend to defend and lie for those that do. I strongly believe "usually" is correct.
