Some (not all) of US police are uniquely unqualified to deal with this.
You need to be able to show some compassion in this job and try to actually help people instead of just being a squad of gun wielding weirdos who show up to cart any suspicious people away, guns blazing.
In most other countries police has an active role in settling disputes using empathy and compassion, instead of just arresting people and locking them away.
The way US police tend to operate fits well within a justice system that is focused on draconic punishment instead of rehabilitation and reintegration though.
Some people need a guiding hand to find back into society. In the US you're liable to get kicked into the mud and danced upon instead.
