Going by mainstream sources I've read, we hear very little good the police have done but a lot of bad. For the military it's just the opposite. Others(firefighters, nurses, doctors, etc.) tend to be ignored. Do the police deserve their bad reputation? Does the military deserve their good reputation?
The military and police reputation

I suspect criticism of the military has a tendency to be seen as unpatriotic: The people in the military are risking their lives to protect us all from the evil terrorists and other bogeymen, so the least we can do is "support are troops", gosh-darn-it!
The police on the other hand are just about taking away our freedumbs by confiscating our guns, by giving us speeding tickets, preventing us from driving with a little bit of booze in the system, and by helping to enforce oppressive and socialist taxation laws. In short, they're an extension of Big Government, and the anti-thesis to the values on which America was built.

It varies with each country, but here in the United States most of our wars are unnecessary. Every society needs the police or you'd have major crime problems. I can't really say that for the military. The military has three holidays( July 4th has basically been turned into just another day to brag about our military) while police cops and firefighters get nothing for putting their lives on the line constantly. Very unfair if you ask me.
