Better training. Yes there is a culture problem, and there might be things inherent to people who seek out the profession. But LE is also inundated with "training" that is off the wall take charge, pro-active, testosterone laden hoo-rah. In essence, we are grooming people in uniform to be assholes. Then once there, we cultivate it with a military "got your back" culture. But serious scrutiny for the TRAINING is the place where we could really start to make some changes. If in fact we really want to.
