I don't think that cops are bad people, but I do think that the position essentially forces them to do bad things to others. Those that speak out or refuse to enforce bad laws are usually punished and don't last very long.
I am pretty radical lol, but I do believe that there should be some mechanisms in place in society to protect people and their property from harm. The issue that we are dealing with when it comes to police right now is that their main purpose is enforcing codes that have nothing to do with natural law, and collecting revenue, even if they sign up with good intentions.
Easier said than done indeed lol
You know what I like about this site? Most - not all - of the people here are capable of holding varying opinions but intelligent enough to discuss those different opinions in a rational way.
I would definitely concur that there are some horrid laws on the books, and flawed processes. The legal system is riddled with corruption. Some of it, such as seizure laws in the US are very over-reaching. The Bundy ranch incident was an atrocity that should undergo much further scrutiny and lead to a proper and just outcome.
Further, individuals - such as Nancy Pelosi - were able to go into government with a comfortably modest upper-middle-class income and become FILTHY rich over the time she spent in office. She's just one example. Let's just say there is a very unfair imbalance in the justice system.
You make some very good points that should be taken seriously. You're smart enough to understand how this all works. Have you looked at the actual codes you want to change and lobbied for action? We'll definitely have to talk more about it.
