      I really think it is the system. It is a system that gives positive feedback for negative human behavior. And I have no solution for it. But I believe that regardless who becomes police it will break their humanity. And that seems like a bad system to me.

      thanks for coming to my ted talk.

        Definitely the system and not the job itself. As someone living in northern Europe, there are massive headlines and repercussions whenever cops misbehave (for example, every case of a cop pulling their gun here has to be documented, and could result in fines or getting fired if not appropriate, even without firing it). It was hard for me to understand why Americans hated cops until I realized they could get away with murder without being held accountable for their actions, and often would.
