This is a strange characterization. "Docile" can also just mean "follow rule of law". The latter suddenly doesn't sound so odd.
If the police is violating the law then there's no discussion and they need to be corrected. Otherwise, aren't we supposed to follow the law? If we disagree with the law and want it changed, now that is a different process. But there's no need to be disobedient for disobedience's sake, or just for the sake of not appearing "docile".
We Dutch are also good complainers so I don't think we can be described as "docile", even if "just be normal and you're already crazy enough" is a local saying.
