Origin, training, hiring practices, lack of accountability, militarization… there are so many reasons, honestly. Its hard to pick one because its more like a convergence than a singular root cause.
Edit: You know what? I’m going to revise my answer.
A ruling class that was / is hoarding wealth though, unless there is an example I’m not thinking of I think it still fits.
Also we are talking root cause, so still a fit. Modern policing originates from capitalism and the protection of capital, so it works in that way as well.
Definitely in agreement on that, there would still be the issues I mentioned to start regardless of their origination, but especially if they are modeled on the current design

Cops where also bastards in socialist states. They just defended a different ruling class

I’m still good with my answer
I just wanted to add that because many people tend to believe that the police will be “good” when socialist or communists take over the state.
Oh, gotcha
