Of course the police are killing more innocent people nationwide, and committing other abuses, including sexual assaults, and physical assaults. That's what happens when anti-democratic forces turn the police into a tool of oppression by militarizing it.
The bankers own the government and, acting as politicians paymasters, are instructing them to enact self-serving legislation. Corporate cartels have captured the levers of power, helping turn the power of the state into a predatory system against the citizenry.
Members of the ruling elite are increasingly committing crimes with total impunity.
As a result induced poverty is being forced on the citizenry. A slew of laws undermining human, civil, and constitutional rights are passed around the country with blinding speed. The judicial system is becoming increasingly draconian and oppressive (for average people).
The Surveillance Police state's main purpose is to secure corporate cartels' domination over the population.
Anti-democratic forces are hallowing out the state from within, oppressing and exploiting the citizenry, ravaging our natural environment, polluting the air, poisoning our water (from coast to coast).
The MSM serves as a mind-numbing propaganda machine... People are being spied on; social justice groups are being infiltrated, monitored, and subjected to sabotage.
In the meantime there are still people who believe we live in a functioning democracy and see all these things as individual and unrelated events.
Of course, others are getting ready to revolt (non-violent resistance/uprising), having realized the true nature of the system.
Question: What accounts for the very large segment of the population that hasn't come to terms with the true nature of the system?
The reason we see all this absurdity around us, including SWAT teams bursting into animal sanctuaries to kill a baby deer, people being subjected to endless hours of cavity searches, enemas, and colonoscopies just for rolling on as stop sign, women being subjected to vaginal searches by police in the middle of roads during routine police stops, police killing innocent people with total impunity, bankers stealing trillions of dollars, is because many still believe we live in a functioning democracy and are somehow hoping that there is somebody, anybody in power who truly gives a shit about these abuses and will do something about it. It ain't going to happen. To expect otherwise at this point is, well, absurd.
The sooner people come to terms with this reality, the sooner we can get on with the (non-violent) revolt!

Sockpuppets & Trolls Watch: Their aim is to disrupt, to annoy, to introduce "noise" in order to prevent meaningful discussions of issues. Their tactics include casting aspersions (attack on the reputation or integrity), and ad hominems, where instead of addressing issues, they attack the character of people. They also engage in mockery, and logical fallacies. A good source of information about the tactics used by sockpuppets, trolls and hacks is "The 15 Rules of Web Disruption." Once you familiarize yourself with those tactics, it is pretty easy to spot the potential troll. Once spotted, the best thing is to ignore them. [Image credit: Jacob Bøtter from Copenhagen, Denmark]
