Police or government employees are not infallible and subject increased scrutiny whether fair or not.

So, you mean just live with the rioting, destruction and increased racial tension ??
My point was, for example, the sad case in NY where a choke hold was put on a suspect and he died. The ENTIRE SITUATION should not have happened. Had the suspect, and it matters not what he is a suspect about, simply refused to answer the police or listen to what they wanted him to do. THAT was what happened BEFORE THE ACTUAL INCIDENT.
Same thing in Ferguson. Suspect listens to the police and NOT UNFAIR DEMANDS, and he is alive, the city is not half burned to the ground, etc etc etc.
Keep in mind...if police stop you and you did nothing, you MIGHT be inconvenienced and you might have your feelings hurt, but that is it and any cop who oversteps what he or she does when stopping you is in trouble and you are on your way.
