    He’s gotta get paid.

    In the USA your identity, finances, and insurance are tied to your job.

    He’s likely got financial obligations and is stuck in that job. Police are paid pretty well. They have to be to convince any same person to take that shit job.

    If you offered all cops a job with the same wage and benefits I bet over half would take it.

      I doubt over half would take it. Some like the idea of helping communities whereas the motivation of others is simply being in a position of power. It’s not hard to think which way the abusive ones would lean.
