The problem is by wearing a uniform you are a collective. Which is why the military takes it seriously when a single uniformed member makes an ass out of themselves to the public.
This. I'm free to dress and act like a hooker at home or on the town if I want - it's a free country. But if I so much as twirl my hair when I'm on the clock interacting with a customer, then I would get a talking to from my boss. And that would be 100% justified, because I'm representing my company and everyone in it.
Police have to live by those same rules - and more so - because they represent the government. Don't tell me 'good cops and bad cops'... I don't give a shit about the good cops either if they let assholes walk around wearing the same color blue. I blame all of law enforcement for not keeping their dicks off the street.
That is the difference is, all depends which agency they work for. Police officers that are employed by their city or township and State police work for the government. But County Sheriff’s are ELECTED BY THE PEOPLE.

Abolish police unions.
