Educational background is really irrelevant in this case. The primary job of the police is not and never has been to protect the public. It has always been to enforce public order and it's the government who defines what public order is. It's a systemic issue.
Police departments are full of the power hungry, cowards and retards all of whom are primarily interested in keeping their pensions. Those who want to serve and protect the public and are principled enough to actually do so usually don't last long or fight a life-long uphill battle against the gang they're a part of, a battle they can't possibly win as the government is the boss of the gang.
If you look at governments that violently crack down on their own people if there is someone who tries to protect the people it's usually the military. The police are almost always the ones who are doing the cracking down. I honestly can't think of an example where the police fought against the military to protect the people but I know of plenty where the military started to protect the people from the police. If I'm not mistaken Bangladesh is one of the recent examples of that happening.
It's not even as complicated as "enforce public order." Their order of operations stops at : "End the complaint." Every logic loop loops back around to what will stop them having to do anything at all, as quickly as possible.
Any attempts to introduce such concepts as "rights" or "who is really wrong here" simply introduces confusion, which in lower-IQ individuals, naturally results in anger.
Today's college graduates are not smart or impressive people. In a lot of "disciplines," they're merely taught to regurgitate what they were told. Exactly what they want in law enforcement.
Reminder that police departments started choosing against college graduates back in the 90s, and started implementing "community policing."

Not like Current Year college grads would make things any better.
No, the police now are majority ex-military. We're the enemy in their minds.
That wouldn't even matter today.
