I know we have to hold law enforcement to very high standards but maybe the problem is that we are asking them to do an impossible task. How do you convince a group of highly ethical, moral people to police communities with no ethics or morals?

Communities have to police themselves first.

this isn't some elevated response to criminal activity. it's police themselves acting criminally against the entire population.

Came back five days later to say this: I understand that the problem is these cops being criminals. That's unacceptable. Full stop.

My larger point was that apparently people without morals or ethics are being attracted to the police force for some reason. And that could be because there's no way to attract moral/ethical people to do that job.
