I agree with a lot of what the "cop haters" say, I am of the opinion many police officers are over-zealous. That being said, what do you think society would look like without them? Also, who in their right mind would want to be a cop nowadays..... they get crucified by the media constantly.
I would expect the quality of the officers to deteriorate in the near future.

That is already happening.
That being said, the few run-ins I have ever had with police (speeding) I have always been smart enough not to tick the guy off who literally holds my life in his hands.
But I find it a sad state of affairs that in the United States, in 2014, we fear our police as much as we do.
Now some say that there are just a few aggressive bad apples who make the rest look bad. But the general attitude of our police forces is, we do what we want, you don't like it, enjoy jail.
How often have police reviews of behavior/shootings after the fact ever resulted in the cops not protecting their own?

Yep. Cops, at least at the state level, are better educated and better trained than ever before. Unfortunately, as they say, the good have to suffer with the bad. I think part of the problem is that many officers are military reservists and have been pulled from their jobs at the PD to go kill people in Iraq and Afghanistan. They are sent back to their respective departments with more of a kill-or-be-killed attitude. Contrast that with WW2 when police officers were actually exempt from military service.
