And then you watch actual bodycams and for every 1 racist there are 1 million toddlers trapped in adult bodies screaming “racism” because the cops wont let them shoplift or assault people

I know what you mean, it's the 99.7% of the bad apples that really spoil it for the 0.3% that are trying to do a good job

Thanks for the feedback! Personally, I'd rather fix the country I have than create a new one, but so far most law enforcement agencies seem unusually (and specifically) resistant to the idea of ending qualified immunity, tying licensure and continual employment to insurance premiums, or generally holding themselves accountable for bad actors within their ranks. For example, I didn't see a lot of people being held accountable for assaults that happened at the George Floyd protests, despite dozens of incidents of people getting assaulted and critically wounded by police in vicious acts of needless brutality. You know, the protests that were organized in response to needless police brutality?

I guess when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. I only wish that not all the nails had to get shot, and that the shooters were somehow held accountable for it. I see you're the other guy.
