“We cannot expect people to have respect for law and order until we teach respect to those we have entrusted to enforce those laws”
— Hunter S. Thompson

Simplified Meaning:
For people to follow rules and stay orderly, first, those who enforce the rules must be taught to respect others. Think of it like a school: if teachers are kind and fair, students are more likely to listen and behave well. But if teachers are mean or unfair, students might not feel like following the rules. In a city, police officers play a similar role as teachers. If police officers treat everyone kindly and fairly, then people will be more likely to respect the law. For our society to be peaceful, we need to make sure those in power show respect to everyone they serve. This way, everyone feels valued and is more likely to follow the rules.
