Yep, the paradox of power is very real, those who seek tend to be the most dangerous people to possess power. You see that in everything from police to government to business. There really isn't a great solution to this, only increased accountability (mandatory body cams on police, harsher penalties and lower bars for political bribery, etc), which surprise surprise, the people with power have no interest in enacting.

Thank you for understanding where I'm coming from.
