When people are given the authority to stop, question, arrest and kill as part of their job they had better be responsible, courageous, judicious, sober and possess a very high degree of self control and cognitive and analytical ability. No doubt this is very hard to attain and seems “unfair” as it means that a very high standard of conduct is expected. But with great authority comes great responsibility. If people aren’t up to it they should be employed elsewhere.

Aye, there's the rub.

Law enforcement agencies must settle for mere mortals.

I disagree, the ‘rub’ isn’t that the police/LEOs “are only human.”
The ‘rub’ is that for so long they’ve been held to a *LESSER* standard than that they impose on others.
