Most of your officers acts very unprofessional. Most assaults on police officers are provoked by your untrained rascal police officers who are always quick to insult & assault citizens. Police shouldn't be treated as super citizens bcos that makes them to behave anyhow.

Then Police officers should respect themselves

Same to police against innocent people especially travelers

Civilians have their respect too and it should be shown to them at all times.

How about going after terrorists?

They should be warning officers against assault to citizens the are the ones forcefully doing a lot of things not the other way round
