The US has the largest prison population in the world by both percentage and raw number. It also has a pervasive culture of violence with an emphasis on punishment instead of reform. People think if they just replace the bottom-rung of the justice system, cops, with "good people" it will get better. They pick pet issues like police unions or private prisons to distract from the top-down pervasiveness of the problem. If you don't think firing all the teachers and getting rid of their unions would make American education (which already spends more per student than any other country) stop putting up 3rd world results, why would you expect that to work for police? In both cases the system and culture are such that who works at the bottom doesn't matter, just cogs in a machine.

Do you think the Nazis would have been good if they just fired all the bad brown shirts and replaced them with good ones? Or was the system itself the problem?
