It is genuinely tricky, not because of the principle per se, but because of the actual practicalities. If all cops quit as the plebs believe should, they'd all be replaced by fanatical communist social justice commissars by next week. Then comes civil war, then comes foreign intervention.
I've thought of solutions for these practical issues. One I'm leaning towards is making it impossible for a cop to be fired for disobeying the law without it going to the courts, should they appeal. Now, whether civilian or a typical judicial affair come another can of worms, as the question of who gets to choose people for jury duty for instance becomes suspect or who presides, but I reckon much of this can be quelled if any and all cases brought to a court of law can be publicized at the request of the defendant. This goes for any affair, including civilian. Should it come down to it, if a petition large enough by the constituents of their respective jurisdiction is signed, perhaps then it should come down to vote.
Of course, there's worry here. It can go well or can go terrible, depending on how radicalized the people there are. But, if anything, it's still the peoples' choice, as it's still the people who pay for these public servants, regardless if they choose right or wrong. As for fraud, that's what audits are for.
Is it just if the people decide wrongly? I think the idea of what that exactly means has always been up to the people, either way.

That is how they want it to pan out.
