Why do people have such a low opinion of the people that risk their lives to keep us safe? I really don't understand why we are so quick to think that a police officer would do something intentionally to hurt someone. Just like anyone else in this field, they have to justify why they did this later to their supervisor and possibly in defense to their job, so why would they do something to endanger their job security?
Is that not bias? Is it not a prejudice?

I can't comment on this specific incident, as i have yet to read/watch the different stories on it,
however as to your question about how can people be so negative towards (cops,etc) here is my answer
I do respect the authorities, as everyone should,
however in today's world, when America is slowly becoming more of a police-state, people are becoming prejudice towards cops
Many people have noticed the decline in the respected oath that all officers must take...the oath to the constitution
This of course isn't right, as you shouldn't be biased like that,
but im just answering your question
i have respect for your brother
