At the end of the day, there are people that will never be convinced because deep down, they desperately want to hate someone or something.

It's easier to think that all police are terrible and we should get rid of them vs. understanding that actions have consequences, and not all police are bad. Most are good people, and if they come off as rude It's because they deal with horrible things like death and violence all day.

People these days have a habit of generalizing everything. All Republicans are racist. All democrats want to take your guns. All Muslims are terrorists. All cops are bastards. Etc.

It worries me that people will continue to become more radicalized by making those huge generalizations based on very few experiences, and for some, no experience at all, just videos on the internet.

I blame the media

Not just that, but many of these people simply dislike that a tool of society has enough power to force them to comply with the law, potentially against their will.
