Perhaps when I said "our", I should have pointed out that the we does not automatically include you. It's an attitude thing.
Maybe you're intimidated by government people that act like they're more powerful than you. I treat them like the hired help they are. When some people see a law get broken, all they do is whine "ain't it awful". When I see someone break the law I make sure the law gets enforced. I prefer the hired help to do their job, but when they screw up I find new employees. If that doesn't work I think harder. Some people are always figuring out ways to be powerless. I prefer to think of ways to amass power and then use my power to protect my family and society.
Like I said, it's an attitude thing.
