I don't disagree that this is not surprising; but no one really takes issue with the fact that the most of them are professional. The issue is that the minority of bad cops are vigilantly protected. The accountability for cops is almost non existant, and the power they hold is tremendous. Anyone who genuinely thinks that the police aren't in many dimensions being "fairly demonized", seems to me, to be extremely likely to come from a well-to-do background. I am white; spent my youth being a dirty hippy. I was endlessly harassed by cops who absoluted loved to wield their power to literally ruin your life. As I've gotten older and more invisibly middle class, I no longer fear the police, but I have basically zero sympathy for them. Once they stop protecting the bad cops, they will easily win over the hearts and minds of citizens.
