Now, you make the term Mutual Disrespect then the article can become at least mostly correct.

Where the people fear the government you have tyranny. Where the government fears the people you have liberty.
Exactly. I’m not sure when it happened, but somehow the public suddenly became “The Enemy” in the eyes of the police.
I really do feel badly that when I see a cop I feel paranoid instead of protected. They lie to the public constantly, yet if you misspeak, or remember something out of order, you are arrestable for “impeding an investigation”.
Yes, the police should be respected, but respect is earned. Stop treating the public like your bitter enemy and see how things improve.
Otherwise, this will end badly, for all involved.
