Considering the police forces in the US are armed, the way they are managed is alarming.

Agreed. There’s little to no accountability, reinforcing a belief that they can act with impunity with little or no consequences.
The police officer who murdered George Floyd did so in public, in front of witnesses and on camera. Clearly confident he could get away with it. That’s not a “bad” police officer, that’s structural.
