I say ACAB becuase their incentives dont align with helping the public.

Cops will always help each other first at the expenses of everything else.
Cops have qualified immunity, which corrupts their behavior.
The SC ruled that cops have no duty to protect, they are only required to investigate and arrest after the incident. See the tragedy in Uvalde.
there is no check and balance agaisnt the police. If they are suspected of mis-conduct, they invistigate themselves (see point 1).

So, cops cant get in trouble, and have no duty to protect anyone, and wont rat each other out. Seems like an environment ripe for corruption and laziness.

And "rebuild it from the ground up" doesn't mean these problems don't exist, it means they could be resolved, as far as I understood the other person.
