The media wouldn't be painting every cop like the US cops if the US cops weren't like the US cops.

Our police apparently can barely wait for an opportunity to act militantly. Refer to the Kim Dot Com raid. That could have been accomplished with four officers.

Our police are (generally) really good. But they shouldn't be enforcing a civil breach of a business' terms of service.
