The police are worse because they’ve been systematically _trained_ to be worse. For decades they’ve been trained to be paranoid and to default to violence; “better judged by twelve than carried by six”. They are taught to _grossly_ overestimate how dangerous being a police officer is and to be ready to see threats everywhere, and kill them.

They also [spend a lot of time training in Israel or by Israeli trainers](https://www.amnestyusa.org/blog/with-whom-are-many-u-s-police-departments-training-with-a-chronic-human-rights-violator-israel/), basically being taught to think like an occupying force.
