Exactly. And we have to experience the results/

The off-duty cops who act pompously are usually incapable of changing back to civil, civilian roles when they are not in uniform.

The problem, though, is that they act that way when they ARE in uniform. Which creates a vicious circle: not many people take pleasure in interacting with an arrogant SOB, so those interactions create dislike & distrust among the general population, so the cops & their fans 'circle the wagons' and become even more arrogant & defensive...

Sure. They are, after all, individuals. But as with those other professions, the odds are way stacked in favor of them being SOBs. And even those who are not SOBs by nature will defend their fellows.
