Exactly, and that's why you need to invest in training and guiding them, in holding them accountable for missteps and bad behaviour.

The point of police is not to give untrained regular people unchecked power over others.

Your vague broad-scale social prescriptions are irrelevant to the question of optimal individual behaviour towards the police.

No, but they are relevant to the question of how to improve your society. Accepting problems as a normal state of affairs is not going to fix them.
