> Why is there so much distrust towards the government, police, and military in US ?
Well, for one thing because certain factions (heavily represented, oddly enough, in government, including the police and military) actively promote that distrust to get more power for themselves. This doesn't seem like it would work, but it has more than one would think.

US politicians, especially recently, have taken to claiming that a lot, but you'd probably have to construct a very special definition of democracy for that to be even arguably true.
