Shows of force and escalating violence become more important than actual good police work and using the least amount of force possible. Not exactly a great way to get the public on your side.
You wonder why people hate cops? The slogan "we intimidate those who intimidate others" goes a long way to explain it.

There's tons of reasons to hate cops. Intimidating scumbags who make their living preying on others is not one of them.
