People choose to be cops. Choosing which country you live in is a luxury most can't afford.
Ok then, so people who vote in US elections are inherently evil? - a more analogous example
People who consume bananas are inherently evil?
People that have smartphones are inherently evil?
Those things are all choices. How about another one? Lithium mining is a bad system that negatively impacts the environment. Therefore, people that buy electric cars are evil and bad for the environment, right?!?
Becoming a cop is a life change, voting is standard, as is consuming bananas and using smartphones.
Deliberately choosing to become a cop is bad, because there are a wealth of alternatives. Not true for voting, bananas, smartphones, or cars.
A small subset of humans become cops, it isn't a thing someone just chances into
