      Again, from childhood, people are bombarded with propaganda that soldiers/cops are good and do no wrong, and the ones that do face justice. I'm not going to wish someone has permanent mental health issues or wish them death because it was a career they decided they wanted when they were in middle school after watching a movie about how cool it was. People can change and work to right their wrongs. Blowing off people with mental health issues is antithetical to leftism, no matter who that person is or what they've done. Movies and TV shows are designed to glorify the military and police and Americans consume too much of it.

      Victims of police brutality deserve justice and the police responsible deserve to face that justice. I'd agree with you if you said to abolish the police. I'm not saying these institutions are a good thing, but I'm saying individual cops and soldiers are overwhelmingly good natured people that have been lied to and manipulated since early childhood to do what they do.
