No, we're not upset that the police make mistakes. That's not what the issue is at all. The issue is that when they do make mistakes, there are no consequences; they are above the law. And an even bigger issue is that they routinely and systematically violate the law knowingly because they can get away with it. Once they are held to the same standards that everyone else is, once they receive the same treatment (and punishment for wrongdoing) as the rest of us, then it will stop being such a huge issue.

Considering how bad the relationship is between the public and the police, I can't understand why anyone would want to be a police officer right now.

I don't think the problem is so much that cops don't answer for their crimes, but rather that the population has such a boner for Officer Daddy that they don't want to see them answer for anything.

There is a cultlike mentality that surrounds LEOs, which absolves them of any wrongdoing. I suspect that it stems from a subconscious desire to see them as morally superior supermen, when the depressing reality is that most of them are scum-of-the-earth piggos who have far more of a tendency for wrongdoing than even your garden variety citizen. The criminals are the cops, and it's absolutely intentional.
