You're not going to get closer to safer streets when public servants refuse to do their job and think their job is their idea of duty to the exclusion of the citizens.

 America's problem with her public servants is with these kinds of individuals -- not all of government -- who believe they do not take orders from us. Americans are not against 'government', we are against corruption and the assumption of powers not granted. We are tired - very tired - of being played for our tolerance and then regretting the patience we showed only to be abused repeatedly.  

Now, we are insulted and smeared for noticing and objecting. This abuse of the electorate does not come from 'government', but from individual officials who break the law or abandon their duty, or cut themselves in for some piece of the pie or no performance, or simply loaf and dodge work. It has gone by the name Potomac Fever, but it's really a national disgrace. What makes it a disgrace is that some officials are spoiled brats. 

Any indignation of the electorate is shaped by misshaped officials to retaliate and vex the people by characterizing reasonable supervision over our officials as hatred of government. Don't flatter yourself; you're only servants. The truth is that they want to do something other than what they were hired to do, and got caught.

For all of the criticism of their self-indulgence, they have earned every single ounce of the public's disrespect, admonishment and perhaps even firing.

The best part is that you can be sure of one thing, and that is that when such loons are recalled, impeached, unseated, or otherwise disciplined, it will be by due process.  

That, of course, would not be Hate: it would be disappointment.
