    In the U.S., the police enjoyed a fairly good reputation for many years unless you lived in a poor area or an urban area. But even in suburban and richer communities, the reputation of the cops in the U.S. has plummeted. Part of it is the amount of power they now wield has corrupted them. The power invites corruption. No one being pulled over by a cop will be happy about, but there's a world a difference between a cop just doing his job and a bored bureaucrat messing with you because he's bored.

      Or not investigating a car crash scene for 3 days and both the car's occupants died from being left in a ditch all that time despite people calling the cops on day 1?

      You dont have to be actively aggressive to get a fatal outcome.
