A police officer is on duty, doing their job, and should have an expectation of professional behavior the same way ANY OTHER person doing their job does. Look at how doctors handle unreasonable patients, or how people working in service handle angry customers. Even when people are provocative or rude, the expectation is to use your skills and intelligence to navigate the situation with grace. In the case of (American) police, not only do they fail to de-escalate tense situations, they routinely escalate those situations into far more dangerous and violent ones, and are allowed to shoot and kill anyone they deem scary. Yes it would be nice if Americans at large could be taught to act with grace and humility to those serving them, but no amount of microaggressions justifies murdering someone.
