Name a profession that doesn't have its share of insufferable a-holes and incompetents. There are 3 out of 5 in our clerical pool alone.
I wouldn't try because it doesn't exist. My point is that the consequence of being an insufferable a-hole and incompetent when you have that much power and authority is enormous.
Insufferable/incompetent clerical worker means your paperwork doesn't get filed correctly. Same concept with an armed and empowered police officer is much greater.
Greater responsibility means you get held to a higher standard.

Okay, I agree with you.
My point is that there is not much that can really be done about it. Some small things, maybe. Better training (it's a part of what I do, actually).
The other point is that the problem is more of a social media phenomenon than a real issue. If it were a real issue, people would be looking at statistics to see if there are any trends to note.
Well what do you know... there are trends to note in the statistics.
- Police related shootings are going down.
- There is no indication that police related shootings are race related.
- Since the riots/protests and the multiple cop killing incidents and the political cya of government groups, violent crimes are up in poor black neighborhoods and police departments wrestle with how to deal with this whole mess. Proactive policing is way down and reactive policing is cautionary in the extreme.
