Right the healthcare system in America is deeply flawed and there are people who take advantage of that. Policing in America is not “flawed” because it is doing exactly what it was designed to do, which is to surveil residents under threat of violence. And while there are some people who join believing that they will be helping people, many of them do not have longterm careers in police forces, because most of the people who choose to be cops do so because they want the job of exerting power.
