Wait, what critical thinking is going on in Engineering other than problem solving (which is of course necessary)? Do you mean to tell me that you discuss things such as Engineering in its social context? You discuss the social and political contradictions of Engineering as a field?
I've witnessed police do things that would make your head spin, so I don't put it past them to do anything. I mean police passed around and raped a young girl. Police have robbed people at gunpoint for their money. Police have covered up murders. Police have planted evidence. Police have murdered, and lied under oath, were caught, and were not charged.
So who knows, maybe your professor had bad evidence, but if her overall point was that the police are a corrupt organization capable of racism and murder, and your dumb ass was asking for evidence for a specific instance, you were wasting everyone's time with your ignorance, and furthermore you were missing the point.
