It doesn't, though.
The problem is the institution, not the nice people that think being a cop is a good way to make societies better.
There's shitty cops, and the command chain that does nothing about it. That's the problem.
Antagonising common peoples dads, and the people trying to be nice cops,and failing, is not the way.
We have to point at the right problem. And if you point at the corrupt chain of command nice cops will back you up.
They're also seems to be a lot of issues with policy that they're expected to follow. And when they do unconstitutional stuff, they get defended for doing it.
That's, again, an institutional problem. Yes, down with those institutions!
