The problem is the lack of regulation in police departments for vetting who becomes a police officer. Back in the day it was much more regulatory believe it or not. After 9/11 and the "Patriot Act" was signed into law, that changed over time. The government started easing up strict regulations for law enforcement, opening the door to (almost) anyone being able to become a cop who didn't have an extensive criminal history. Then they started firing cops who questioned government orders or their "superiors". This is why policing has become a downward spiral mired with abuse and corruption. Worse: eventually police began to be given quotas to keep their jobs. Meaning if they do not make enough arrests, they can lose their jobs. Completely unfair in any civilized society. Today cops are ordered to shut up, make as many arrests as they can or they lose their jobs, pensions and then livelihoods. Don't believe it? Go ahead and apply for the job, and you'll likely get the job and see for yourself on the beat. It's real, and the biggest problem is with these bureaucratic policies and the lack of regulatory scrutiny when hiring people.
