Law enforcement is too militarized, too full of its own sense of mission, too ready to see citizens as an enemy to be neutralized.
.................................................
It’s mission is to prevent crime and to restrain and arrest lawbreakers, and that’s exactly what people who wish to live in a civilized society expect them to do. And, if the citizenry has issues with how they perform their job, there are lawful procedures to address those issues.
They are law enforcement officers, not crime prevention officers. They have no legal obligation to prevent crimes; that has been well established and repeated many times here at FR.
