> The converse - that it should be fine to be disrespectful to people who hold state backed power makes no sense that I can see - that seems to be a dehumanizing act with no apparent benefit.

Quite the opposite - I think they should be subject to regular testing where some kind of internal control officers behave flippantly towards them (perhaps even disrespectfully) and if they respond by abusing their power they are (at the very least) immediately relieved of their state backed powers.

I fully support this suggestion. It would be great to have a law mandating this kind of training.

Randomly disrespecting government officials seems to play no part in bringing this about.
