Should a wrongfully convicted victim hate the cops and the lawyers or disrespect them after what they’ve been through and what right they get?

In the US, you are under no obligation to respect cops. You cannot be arrested for disrespect. You don't have to respect lawyers or those that accused you. The only time you might get into trouble would be in court where the judge will impinge on your rights of free speech and give you a contempt of court fine or jail time. Government likes to take away your rights when they can.

@aboveaverageaveragejoe Don’t forget that if you choose not to show respect to others the same also applies to them regarding their respect or lack of respect for you. It cuts both ways.

@justanothername Most police departments have policies that they are to be courteous and respectful, it doesn't flip both ways. Cops will plant evidence, lie under oath, make reports, fabricate evidence, make up charges, collude to hide the truth and its your word against the blue brotherhood.
