why are law enforcers such jerks?

I don't want to only pick on Pennsylvania. Just last year a suit was filed here in Errorzona, to wit.... http://www.aclu.org/files/assets/gamez_v...plaint.pdf

Arizona's Department of Corrections was accused in a lawsuit filed Tuesday of unconstitutionally denying adequate medical and mental-health care to inmates in state prisons and of routinely keeping mentally ill inmates in solitary confinement under brutal conditions.

The suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Phoenix by a coalition of human-rights groups, lists myriad shocking allegations of prisoners suffering serious, preventable injuries, disfigurements and death, and it seeks to force the state to improve prison health care.

Among examples cited are an inmate whose pleas for help were ignored for two years while cancer swelled his liver to four times its normal size and then killed him; a four-months pregnant woman who was told her problems were "all in your head" and was left alone in a cell while she miscarried; at least two examples of inmate suicides that poorly trained staff failed to prevent; an inmate punished for using CPR to save another inmate after a heart attack while corrections officers refused to summon medical help; and many examples of prisoners waiting months and even years for treatment of fractured bones, broken teeth and other medical issues.

Then of course we have Sheriff Shitstain himself and his band of merry thugs.....
