Unfortunately there are several things at play here. A few bad cops are making some people go all FTP on all cops. This in turn fosters an us vs. them attitude in even the good cops. Then there's the "Free to be, You and me" generation of parents and teachers who either refuse to, or are incapable of, disciplining their spawn. Those kids are growing up to be budding young sociopaths, for whom their own gratification is the only understandable goal. There's no empathy, no shame, and no civic responsibility in them. It's not all of them, but it's enough to create a very real problem. And that's still leaving aside all of the racial and religious issues, real imagined, and invented, that create tension.
