Yes.
And also, one thing to mention, however, Jack. You pointed out the 3 Musketeers thing. Think about the stress that these people are under every single time they approach a vehicle for a simple traffic stop. Imagine how tense they HAVE to be in case they are walking and the door pops open and suddenly their wife gets a letter saying they're now widowed. You can't blame them (entirely) over having extreme trigger fingers and twitch reflexes when they never know what to expect. There are police brutalities all over, yes, but that doesn't take into account the amount of times civilians might kill or beat the shit out of the cops as well. The world isn't a "they should always take the higher road" type place, I'm afraid, when taking the higher road results in your death a large amount of the time.
Don't get this confused with me saying "Beating the shit out of a girl is awesome!" either.
