The ruthless power of authority

I recently got an e-mail from a friend of mine with the following attachment.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uczWUs3vTh4It was truly disgusting to watch. The ruthless power that authority has over innocent civilians and their ability to take advantage of any situation, of any person, at any time is sickening. I'd hope that in situations like these, people of authority or officers in this case, would assist the innocent and help this poor girl while she was trying to find and save her dying father. This video just reiterates for me the fact that we cannot really trust anyone in this society, but ourselves. Eventually, the woman was taken to jail and held for a few hours and thankfully, her father survived but it still does not deter from the horrific acts of the police officer and the insulting behavior. The society we live in today is truly harsh and we must not trust anyone.. honestly, it sounds crazy... but we live in a crazy world these days and no one must be trusted but yourself and do what you think is right... I don't mean to sound like Dr. Phil or anything but it's true... only believe in yourself... in the end, the only person that will be affected is yourself but you must be prepared and willing to accept that fact that you are responsible for your own actions and hence, if you do what you believe in, then you will be reciprocated with whatever consequences.
