The difference is every single place I go that isn’t a police station people talk shit about cops.
You’re hated, and it’s not the unjustified hate of racism, intolerance, or ignorance. You’re hated because you actively choose to drain society’s resources while stimping on people’s rights. You should be hated.
Yeah - you may occasionally do something useful, but you’re a net drain on society and you should be ashamed of yourself and your entire profession for what you’ve become.

Someone who is employed to strategically and often deceptively visit consequence on you - while rarely helping you - will have no shortage of haters.
But at the same time, there are plenty of more adult and rational people who realize law enforcement isn’t worthy of universal and unconditional contempt.
Only by people that really haven’t thought it through, i.e. people that think “cops” is a monolith and they’re ideas rather than people - antagonists in the game of Fun Crime.
I’ve met plenty of ACABers and without exception they go from “omg u r evil” to “Oh, you’re a human being and law enforcement is more complex than I realized.”
There isn’t really any political philosophy that thinks that way other than anarchists, and I view that “society is best when there are no laws” perspective as incredibly naive, so I shrug at your opinion.
Definitely not ashamed of what I did - hope that doesn’t trouble you.
