I don't think most people do. I think they see them as people doing a difficult, and usually thankless, job. Think about it this way, if you an encounter with the police it's almost always going to be a negative for you. Either you just got pulled over for speeding, or something else, you were the victim of a crime, which obviously sucks, or you're a criminal getting arrested.

Oh, well as long as you don't need them.
Quote:They just annoy people at will.
This is a silly statement.

We don't love our police that much and clearly don't idolize them.
Yeah, again, we don't here either. I think you're confusing people pushing back against the anti-law enforcement crowd, and showing support, with unconditional praise. While those types of people do exist, they are the exception.
I will say that so many of our TV shows involve the criminal justice system. You have the extremely popular shows like Hill Street Blues to the Law and Order franchise ( I could name a lot more), and then you have some really outstanding shows like The Wire, which is superb, and IMO a top five show of all time.
