Tons of jobs deal with all sorts of annoyances. Policing is objectively not the most dangerous job. The vast majority of issues police tend to face are systemic and better addressed by giving police department money to other programs.

And relatedly social workers are dollar for dollar far more effective, and when they mess up they don't turn passersby into Swiss cheese.
