Something you may not know is the origin of the word fascist.
The fasci siciliani were peasants and farmers seeking basic rights and reforms before 1900. Fasci refered to the fact that a single straw is weak, but a bundle was strong.
The term was later ressurected in a nostalgic sense to make the new rising popularists look like men of the people.

By removing the cultural respect they have. If they are routinely seen as the bad guys, the attraction to the profession is diminished. We begin to make a career in law enforcement similar to used car salesman and telemarketers. People will routinely disrespect them. Power hungry morons will think twice before going into those jobs.
