    They are all bad. You said so yourself, “the personality type that tends to go into LE”. That personality type is called, a bad person. I don’t believe for a second that anyone with good intentions can look at the current state of law enforcement in the US and say “I’ll become a cop to help people”. The ones that do won’t last long if they are actually good because they will be forced out as soon as they try to stop the bad cops.

      Police should be staffed on a ballot system like juries. Wanting to be a cop (or politician) should be grounds for rejection. Everyone who is drawn does a mandatory two years. Sure there might need to be a skeleton permanent administrative staff, like Government, for continuity but the front of house folk should be ordinary people.
