In theory we live in a democracy that should make fixing this easy.
It makes fixing it possible . It's unreasonable to expect that getting millions of people to agree to take specific actions to effect a very precise change in laws will be "easy".

You are arrested and placed in a cage before any sort of due process has concluded. The due process doesn't have to be first, it just has to happen, and it has to be binding. (i.e. they can't just keep you or your property if they lose the trial)

Police aren't actually required to protect anyone (see Castle Rock v. Gonzales, 545 U.S. 748 (2005)), but just to generally maintain social order.
what happened to the "to protect and to serve" motto then?

Of course it is. The Bill of Rights contemplates bail, so obviously it wasn't considered a violation of due process to hold someone before trial.
