In my anecdotal experience from growing up in California's Central Valley, not one person I knew who became a cop _wanted_ to become a cop.

It was always their last "honorable" job choice. As such, they aren't mentally prepared to handle dealing with the shittier parts of society which shortens their fuse tremendously. No tolerance situations like this are a symptom.
