I don't see how to elect someone who doesn't have the same incentive with regard to the police. The fact that the disincentive to take on the police is such a fundamental part of how the job works is precisely why I don't think the problem can be solved by just electing a different DA; the system itself needs to be changed, and that requires a lot of coordination across multiple fronts. Voting for different people is necessary for that sort of change but not nearly sufficient, which is why I think that saying it's purely the fault of voters for electing the wrong people is a gross oversimplification.
Look what happened to Chesa Boudin, expect that to be the playbook opposing any prosecutor working toward systemic changes. Another example is Desantis removing elected prosecutors who oppose the police/fascist agenda.

The desire and laws written to do this sort of thing come from lobbying organizations like ALEC [0][1][2]. This and other similar organizations basically write "model laws" and hand them to legislators to pass. That's why all the "red" states suddenly decided to outlaw trans people at the same time.
They dodge lobbying oversight laws by having legislators become "members" of their club.
No-one is outlawing anyone, these laws are harm reduction measures for risky and controversial medical interventions that are being inflicted upon vulnerable children and adults.
Of course not. But do you see how that DA or PA are disincentivized to take on the police?
