As a retired LEO, Citizens are facing more. Law Enforcement is a primarily reactionary force. Something happens to a citizen and LEO responds. If LEO is a reactionary, responding option, shouldn't the front line, the citizen, be more prepared?
Nope, quite the opposite I was reprimanded for not going with what I felt was wrong, even if it was accepted practice. Want examples? I sleep well knowing my purpose was a peacekeeper, not a law enforcer. I got into the career to help people not make their bad decisions, or make a mountain or a name for myself by creating problems. I worked part of my career in corrections as well as patrol and then the gang unit. It is a hard and challenging career that takes a special breed of person. I am sorry you have had a bad experience.
Nope. There are more of us than you think. Good people trying to do a good job. The only time I truely feared for my safety was when I was found out I had a green light by La Eme.

I have only ever encountered one decent human being that was an officer in all my years. The rest are either roid raging or power tripping assholes
