You’re still missing the concept. Police, government control, governmental violence on its own citizens, should NEVER be revered. Doing so is begging for a police state. THAT’S the path of progressivism.
No, you’re wrong.
Nobody reveres totalitarian control and violence you describe in your post, other than communists, fascists and other half-wits.
What you’re targeting is the normal, reasonable attitude of respect patriotic Americans have for law enforcement.
You might be falling for the communist tactic of attempting to destroy the system of law enforcement in a country hated by communists for its success and objective moral righteousness.
