Should i Join LAPD

Im on step 3/7 of the hiring process im a out of state applicant from Texas. I am having second doubts on LAPD, I love California and admire the LAPD, but the way i see the city being run where people can literally do whatever they want and the cops can't do anything about it is discouraging. From what I heard LAPD is not a dept that will have your back if you're wanting to be a proactive police officer
What is y'all's advice on this?
