I'm not suggesting a revolution is likely (but good job reducing what I said to an absurd conclusion and then ridiculing it). What I am suggesting is that if the populace trusts the police to be fair and uphold the law at all times, then they are more likely to cooperate with investigations, call 911 if they see a problem, and generally deal with issues that come up in an orderly manner.
When citizens don't feel they can trust the police, it's much easier for criminals to get away with crimes, which increases the crime rate reducing public safety for everyone.
