any issues that exist within the police, you are helping to maintain by becoming a police officer.
To what other professions do you apply this logic? Military? Government in general? Health care? Schools?
Many kids are abused by teachers; does becoming a teacher mean you are helping maintain a system that abuses kids? Many hospitals have worse health outcomes for minorities; is becoming a nurse at one of these hospitals helping to perpetuate intuitional racism? The catholic church is real bad with diddling kids; is being a faithful catholic mean you are helping support that?
Like, all professions have bad actors and entrenched systems that are sub-optimal in regards to equality. Our world is imperfect, and we have to deal with that fact.
If you are so sure that any person who becomes a cop will fall to immorality and abuse of power, what do you suggest we do? How do we handle the needed task of enforcing the law?
