1) racial diversity is not our strength
2) religious diversity is not our strength
3) diversity of national allegiance is not our strength.
4) welfare is not our strength
5) pitting groups against each other for political points is not our strength
These, I believe, have a lot to do with our national lack of respect on all sides.

If they policed themselves just a little bit, they wouldn't have so many problems. Also, many cops have poor fighting skills, with the right training people are easily subdued, and the police are more confident to not resort to shooting. I see how out of shape these police get, it's very sad, I've seen them so big I don't know how they fit in the car seat.
Not for everyone, know a really nice guy, went through the training to become cop, became a cop, and then stopped being a cop and will never go back.
I'll tell you right now, supervisors and management all the way up and down public service don't give a shit anymore. The turnover rates for public service jobs is going up and up, and glassdoor is catching up with how bad the cronyism and nepotism is on the inside of some of these government agencies both state and federal. More states I'm sure are pulling their organizational charts from public view, they do ours, to many wives, husbands, brothers, sisters, daughters all working together now, they just take turns promoting each other abusing the system over all.

The mentally ill used to get treatment and now they just send cops. Kids used to be taught respect and now it’s cool to be disrespectful.
Supervisors used to back you when you were right but now they accuse you of being wrong in order to appease crazy people.
Parents used to get mad at their kids for getting arrested and now they get mad at us.
The media used to highlight the positive contribution our profession gave to society and now they either ignore it or twist the truth for controversy to line their own pockets.
There used to be a common respect among criminals. If they got caught, they understood you had a job to do but now it’s our fault they sit in handcuffs rather than their own personal decisions.
If someone attacked a cop, they were seen as such. Now we martyr them and sue for millions.
We used to be able to testify in court and we were believed. Now, unless there is video from three different angles, no one cares what you have to say.
With all this talk about racism and racist cops, I’ve never seen people treated differently because of their race. And while I know that cowards that have never done this job will call me racist for saying it, all I’ve ever seen was criminal behavior and cops trying to stop it and they didn’t give a rip what their skin color was.
I’ve seen cops help and save any type of race, gender or ethnicity you can think of and while that used to mean something, no one cares anymore.
I’ve been called every name you can think of and many of them with racial overtones and it’s never come from cops. I’ve watched African American cops take the brunt of this and even talked one rookie out of quitting after he was berated by a lot of cowards that had the same skin color as him.
I’ve heard words I never heard before being a cop.
Uncle Tom, Cracker, Pig and the N Word just to name a few. I’ve heard them thousands of times and never once did I see a police officer retaliate.
.....
But those of you that were silent while the slow turning of the knives in our backs happened by thugs and cowards, this is on you.
Your belief in hashtags and memes over the truth has and will create an environment in your community that you will never expect.
If you think Minneapolis will turn into Mogadishu and that is far from you, it’s coming.
And when it does, remember what your complicity did.
This is the America that you made.
