I was always taught to respect the people who enforce law, who protect us and risk their own lives in the process. However, all the accounts from prisoners in Abu Ghraib, Kandahar, Guantanamo Bay, H M Prison etc have shown that most are no longer respecting the oath they make.
We, the western world, pride ourselves on how we endorse equality and justice. We gloat about our democratic societies while pitying those in the middle east with far less democracy. 'Innocent until proven guilty' has been ignored since the beginning of the War on Terror. Guantanamo Bay is the perfect example. Your probably sitting infront of your screen thinking 'What the heck do you know?' Well heres my source : Iraq Veterans Against the war (IVAW).
Heres some names I suggest you youtube (that's right youtube you can google if you'd like, but i'm a tad bias toward youtube) :
