I realize that under some circumstances the training is beneficial, but I have seen way too many examples of various armed officials using excessive verbal/physical force with obviously harmless people.

I think of it this way: If you're in law enforcement, the real bad guys are very scary, so you would start to feel like a real wimp after a while. The way I think many of them deal with this is by over-controlling obviously harmless, law-abiding people.
