They no longer give a damn about what the public thinks. They have the badges to give them the authority, the guns along with the will and eagerness to use those guns. They are now faceless, mindless bureauctats following the dirctions of those in the next layer above them.

A bureaycrat is the most dangerous individual in the world. They obey without question any order they receive. They kill any who they are ordered to without question, remorse, or pity. It is the bureaycrat s who carry out the dictator's directive to kill whom, when, where, and how.

Since the government is still (marginally) responsive to the people, people had better start taking close notice of the corrupt, and very dangerous, direction their government is going.

I believe you have put your finger on one of the biggest problems we now face. The main difference between them and us, is that they eager and willing to use the guns they have. We are not. Until this attitude changes, they will continue to indiscriminately kill us and our pets. We haven't figured out yet, that we're at war. They are waging an undeclared war against us, and we aren't fighting back.
