In theory I can imagine a scenario in which the cops don’t suck. But one of the most important and unrealistic elements of that is cops would need to hold each other accountable for going too far or other ways in which they might damage the reputation of the profession. Widespread distrust of cops isn’t some anti police conspiracy or cultural thing, it’s a direct result of police protecting each other when they behave horrendously.
