Contempt for police is caused by police not by moral decline. The police need norms of civilized behavior.

Generalizing an entire group based on the behavior of a few individuals is "problematic", don't you think? But I guess it's ok in your moral framework when it's directed towards police.

Ah the "few bad apples defense". Once again you are refusing to address the full phrase, which is "a few bad apples spoil the whole bunch". Until there is actual accountability for police no one will respect them, and they shouldn't.

In some cases, but the majority of cases? No, total nonsense.
