One of the reasons behind this is I don't think a lot of Americans know how their political system works. I was just baffled when America elected Obama twice but then tied his hands by electing a Republican House twice.
Trump was then voted in, a vote that was obviously spurred by people wanting a shake up and a breakaway from the establishment. We all know how that went, but you then had Bernie Sanders who was genuinely looking to shake things up in the right direction, but what then happens? The American Democrats vote Joe Biden to be their candidate, effectively returning the country back to the same old establishment if he wins.
America needs to improve their standards when it comes to police officers. I'm sure the training to work in a McDonald's or Starbucks is more intense than it is to become a police officer in most places.

Also, Trump technically didn't, "win," the election like you are thinking; he won the electoral college; Hillary had higher vote counts from coast to coast, but she didn't win the, "important," states, which have more seats than other states.
Which is beyond absurd; in a 2 party race, it should absolutely come down to who has the bigger vote, period. By conducting elections in the electoral college system like the Americans have always done, it greatly diminishes and demeans the value (and, "voices," of the voters) of the votes that come from states such as Wyoming and Idaho; are they not as important, because they don't output as much revenue or have as big a population as NY, California and Florida?
In Canada, we have a similar system (whoever wins the most seats, regardless of vote count, wins the election), but that makes absolute sense in a country where 3-5 parties are vying for seats; but for a 2 horse race? Just doesn't make sense...
Thus, the US's whole election model, is either antiquated or just plainly backwards and, of course, due to regions, it is slanted towards the right wing as well (when has the west EVER been blue? I'm talking Montana, Idaho, etc.?).
Anyways, I've always had an anti-US outlook in my life, so it's easy to pile on in recent times, but they TRULY are incredibly backwards and ****** up, compared to the rest of the Western world.
