Not disagreeing with you, but the problem you're describing is systemic. The "good" cops have no means to step up against bad ones. They know their concerns fall on deaf ears and all they will accomplish is getting themselves punished for breaking ranks. It's no different from organized crime. You go against the family, you will be made an example of.
Cowardly, sure. Willful accomplices, sure. But the change has to happen in how the actions of public safety officials are regulated and overseen, otherwise we're just throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
