I think my main quibble with this is that cops in the US aren't really beholden to anything or anyone except themselves. That description could be applicable to the legal system as a whole, but US cops have a weirdly loose relationship with the entire legal system despite, theoretically, being its enforcers.
US police departments are more like gangs that receive public funding in exchange for literally nothing, rather than state enforcers.
