I think that cops are meant to have their behavior, mission, and operations completely defined for them. They should be nothing more then executors of the law. They are not better then you. Once they take off that uniform and cease executing the law they have no power. (Ignoring the responsiblities they have as off duty officers) This law is meant to be defined democratically, and as part of the social contract each person is expected to accept the law. If you don't like it ;-) go live in various African nations. You can live without law there, and also the many other amenities that civilization provides.

The reality of the situation is not perfect of course. Nothing is. But all things considered they do an ok job.
