Police being afraid of us is not a good thing, and it will never be.

Police, when scared, will pull out their gun and shoot people. They will resort to violent actions sooner and pull their gun sooner, it will not benefit people.

Police should be scared as hell of the citizens they govern. Not because we will shoot them, but because we will fire them. That needs to happen, not the killing, attacking, and shooting of police.
