This is pretty short-sighted, on a variety of levels - although I feel where you're coming from.
The point isn't that police everywhere are bigoted assholes - the point is that some police are likely bigoted assholes (just like some people), and providing those assholes new tools that seem only to benefit assholes and not the greater good is probably a bad idea.
