... those that cops involved think need an attitude adjustment or just one more kick in the butt.

This has to with the personality types who want to be policing other people. It has to do with the high number of ex-military in policing. It has to do with the disconnection society has with prisoners and ex-prisoners. It has to do with racism, classism, cops who are closet sadists and criminals themselves who enjoy screwing with people who have no recourse.

And regular citizens who accept that law enforcement is like sausage making: you really don't want to see the whole process. The want some amorphous "law and order" and as long as they can maintain plausible ignorance of the sausage making aspect of law enforcement, they will ignore the wreckage.
