I think it's further exacerbated by the fact that the whole point of police is to protect people, so when they do the opposite, it's much, much worse. Others have pointed out that it's about a 9:1 ratio of civilian killings to police killings, which is an absolutely appalling ratio, made even worse by the fact that there are far fewer police than civilians. But something I have seen here yet occurs to me after typing that: Cops protect each other over everything else, so if you're the victim of a cop, you literally have nobody to turn to for justice.
