Non-LEOs who live in the child ego state, who are offended and complain about any authority, can be a pain. But in the end, they're just noise.

On the other hand, LEOs who live in the parent ego state, who truly believe they are ordained to keep the "children" in line, are far more dangerous. They have guns, handcuffs, and jails, and an unchecked certitude of righteousness.

I'd rather be crossways with an ineffectual whiner, thanks.

I'll try to break this to you gently... if you've never had a police job of any type (or even if you have), and you have such a burning desire to do what you see on "Dallas SWAT", then you're psychologically unsuitable to be a police officer of any type, much less SWAT.
