> Most people who have the means to complete a four year degree don’t want or need to go into law enforcement.
That would appear to be the very root of the problem, would it not? It doesn't take a psychologist to understand how that inevitably leads to scraping the bottom of that candidate bucket.
Maybe we should start there.
[edit] And now that I think about it, one more thing:
>The news mainly only reports on these bad apples because it gets ratings.
The news reports on those bad apples for doing things that would get the average Joe imprisoned for decades or executed in several states. Is that what it takes to get "ratings?" Unarmed, non-violent people being executed by government officials, in broad daylight, on sidewalks and in their cars and in their homes?
I changed my mind. Let's start there instead.

The average "local police department" applicant couldn't get a 4-year degree. Raising that bar up just the slightest bit to require a B.S or B.A in a Criminal Justice field before they even get to care about physical fitness or credit ratings would clean up a great deal of those 'rare bad apples' whom so frequently appear on the news each day.
Catering to the lowest common denominator results in exactly more of what we already have plenty.

The total taxes paid isn't up for debate. Obviously people who make more in total should pay more taxes in total. It's the percent versus income that is being questioned.

>You realize that cops as a group are better educated than the general population right?
Police in the US have a combined 9% rate of a bachelor's or higher education. Masters and Ph.D. rates are statistically insignificant to the point that those are effectively 0%.
The average US population above age 25 has a 4-year degree rate of 38%. Roughly 14% has a Masters. Roughly 2% has a Ph.D.
Most of us have access to an internet search engine. This stuff isn't that hard to look up.
