There are two types of people....citizens and dirtbags.
Dirtbags will never like the police, and the feeling is mutual.
Most Citizens have a positive outlook on the police, although they speak out when they get a citation or they get busted for a DWI or such.
Its all part of the job!

I think that most police officer feel that the public in general and the governments they work for don't really care about them. During 911 the public demonstrated great respect for police, fire, and EMS. The effect didn't last long but it did boost the moral of those people. Government on the other hand has done very little to enhance the pay, benefits, and work environment of persons in the law enforcement profession.

I just get frustrated by the fact that people won't get involved and expect us to solve all the crimes, prevent all the break-ins etc without them lifting a finger to help. They won't back us by being witnesses, then complain we don't do anything. They leave their tools in unlocked sheds and seem to hold me personally responsible when they're stolen. They raise the roof when a child dies of abuse and neglect, yet won't report their concerns to us, closing heir doors and hiding behind the curtains.
Me, I know what I stand for and why I joined the job. To stand up and defend the weak, to place the bad guys before the Court and to make the world a better place for my kids.
Can the 'public' say what THEY believe in please???

Those who are doing wrong whether its a speeding ticket or a burglary don't like us, or those who have done wrong in the past. Those that obey the law tend to love us. I don't worry about the apathy, if they are doing right they have nothing to worry about. Those that do feel apathy towards cops, usually have done something wrong and don't like authority.
