    Is hating basic rights a requirement for that job or does it just attract those kinds of people?

      It’s the Police, they are trained to handle bad people, so they see bad people everywhere and treat everyone (depending in Level of racism) as a potential bad person.

      Wich in turn makes them into bad people.

      It’s a fundamental part of the system. When you as a human give power over your life to somebody else or accept that other people have power over you, then that power will inevitably attract the worst of society who will attempt to use that power that you have granted them. The only way out of this is to completely reject the premise of large government. No one person should be beholden to a large central entity. At least here in the United States, I think the state government should be about as big as government gets and completely abolish the federal government because it is just abusive and too far away from the people.

        From the outside it honestly looks like half of what the federal government does is prevent certain states from abusing their people.

        The problem isn’t large governments, you get abuse of power even on a very local level, think small town mayor or police or even in some hobby related clubs with just a few members.

        Also, there is plenty of abuse when you don’t give any power to someone but they just take it because there is nobody to prevent them from taking it.
