> if you get rid of all the bad cops, you don't have enough workers left to do all the work we currently assign to police maybe, maybe not you would definitely open up the profession to all the people who consider themselves honest, and thus who have avoided a career in policing, which is rife in corruption, rewards corruption, and penalizes honesty and let's be honest, it pays a TON for what isn't even close to one of the most dangerous professions, so neither pay nor danger are what keeps smart, honest people away currently, most such people would avoid it because of the culture (particularly the culture of corruption), and bad police don't want and, indeed, deter such people from joining their ranks > bad cops don't keep their jobs because they have a powerful union almost universally, they do: the union literally prevents firing most bad police officers
