That’s naive. Disclaimer: brother in law a police officer now retired, and they fight a constant battle against such a dynamic range of attitudes and aggression that it’s a miracle they don’t all quit en masse. Police are not malevolent actors except in rare exceptions (despite the news wanting to push a more dramatic narrative for eyeballs). While racist assholes are in the exceptions category, incompetence is more common for that category. And the far larger category is people out to do good while in sometimes great danger.
