The biggest issue is the American public that fetishizes this job so much. A lot of people have such an erection for "TOUGH ON CRIME" policies, and they'll just let cops get away with whatever they want.
People are really gullible, too. So any time a cop murders a defenseless and un-armed American citizen, the news and the police will start to throw out propaganda that will make the victim look bad. "The victim was in a gang--look at them throwing up a gang sign on an old Facebook picture they posted! They were wearing a hoodie, at 2am! They had a criminal past!" As if any of that justifies the murder of a person by a shitty and violent police officer.
It's completely enraging, but there's not much to be done about it while "TOUGH ON CRIME" idiots continue to vote and the politicians that are voted in continue to empower their armed lap dogs.
