White collar crimes are often mildly/un punished in other countries too, but when cops can murder in cold blood a passer by, or a girl sleeping in her house, and get away with it with essentially a slap on their wrist, that can't but send the message that institutions aren't there to protect and serve common people, but rather to exploit them to benefit the lucky 1% in power. The loss of trust in institutions is a clear sign that somewhere there is still people with a functioning brain. The problem is in the institutions, not in the people who don't trust them.
