Never will root out the bad. There was an old Dr. Who where the cops are hassling him, “Ah the local constabulary. I’d recognize them in any century.”
Best bet we got is “defund the police”, use that money for people trained for certain tasks and not just sending bully boys for every disturbance.
Or, and this ain’t happening, treat police as we should treat teachers. Make it a well-paid profession with strict hiring and training standards, continuing education and accountability. But as long as people are willing to do these stressful jobs for chicken change, 🤷🏻♂️.
There are LOADS of cops in my hood, and we’re lower-middle class at best, with plenty of upper-lower class represented.
I think you’re reversing cause and effect. Police lose respect because they perpetrate the violence of rich against poor, powerful against powerless. It’s not that they do these evil things because we don’t respect them. This is their job, it’s the same in any century

You’re evidence is a fantasy/drama tv show. That’s so on topic but not in anyway that reflects positively for you.
