Police told to arrest innocent people to meet targets

As a rule, the American populace tends to place certain public jobs on a pedestal - law enforcement, firemen/EMT's, the military - and imbue them with all sorts of mythical qualities.
The truth is, how ethical/moral are those who hold those public jobs, and how worthy are they of the public's mythical accolades when it can be shown time and time again they aren't acting in society's best interest when actions such as the above are exposed?
I posit we are not going to be able to institute meaningful reform until we de-mythologize those public jobs and the people who perform them.
What say you?
