It seems to me that society as a whole is becoming more and more disrespectful to one another, cops and civilians alike.
We went to Concerts in the Park a few days ago, and honestly I felt as if I were looking a freak show directed by Todd Browning...people heavily tattoed, rudely walking on our blankets and almost kicking us, no one smiling or happy, everyone scowling.
Honestly, it seems as if our civilization is in its last days...

Maybe your observation should apply solely to the tatted ones at the concert. Think about all the non-tatted ones, that stayed away from the concert. Maybe they have better manners, are more civilized, and vastly outnumber the ones who so negatively cloud your outlook.
Alas, these will be the good old days long after I am gone and some of todays young people are saying how much society has become less civil. That is the way it is from generation to generation and in some ways that is correct and in other ways not.
For example, people now really are on average less racist and more likely to be civil to people regardless of race than 50 years ago, but people are also more likely to be on a cell phone rudely ignor you today than 50 years ago.
Too often, cops have earned that disrespect.
