You know, this is the sort of thing that corrodes the framework.
The badge is, after all, just one more 'social contract' between citizens, a recognition that this person has certain responsibilities and privileges.
What happens when that crumbles, and all people see is 'just another thug'?
What happens when cops can't get ANY cooperation without duress, because they've managed to alienate so many people? I've heard police complain about inner-city neighborhoods that refuse to cooperate with investigations; what happens when that mentality spreads out?
Scary shit, man.
