Are you kidding? The profession is a magnet for high school bullies and sociopaths who want power over others. In just the last few years we have seen dozens of examples of cops looking for violence, or more particularly, looking to harm others. If they can do it behind the veil of law and get away with it, those that want to will be attracted to it.
They may not all want to shoot to kill, but a huge fraction of the police force is in it for the power trip.
