Fucking eh!
People get mad at cops when they are being arrested. If someone does not understand this concept, or is unable to handle the thought of it, they should not become police officers. Was the guy who was being arrested an asshole? Yes, and he deserved to be arrested if he was beating his wife. The relatively harmless expression of anger and contempt the man made by spitting at the cop doesn't even hold a candle to beating his wife.
As to the ridiculous amount of respect people have for the police, that is mainly because there are so many people today who are willing to trade freedom for security. They'd rather have cops telling them that they can't commit harmless illegal acts than risk the possibility of danger to them or their precious property, for which they love having the police their to protect.
