These aren't feelings. This is about feedback loops. Effectively what is happening is that a minority number of cops are horrible, but because the garbage collection apparatus of PDs and our legal systems are broken this violence occurs without accountability.

Our police force has had it's immune system stripped away.

Qualified immunity, lack of independent prosecutors and police unions make this a multi angle problem.

Imagine every place you've worked (if you've done that) and the larger the company the more likely you are to have one or two scary psychos that you just try to keep off their radar, now imagine that coworker has qualified immunity, a state issued gun, police union backing and a blue line to back him up... you aren't going to antagonize that guy, at best you'll avoid him, and he'll go out effectively unsupervised or with someone who won't stop them, we need external processes to get rid of bad cops so police have a better work environment.

Police reform is the most pro human thing I can think, whether your a cop or not.

Then you aren't the group I was referencing. :) Your feedback loop theory seems plausible. Hard to say conclusively without more data, which is my point.
