Not saying the concept of police is bad, but the situation here is that some cops have been such assholes that all the good cops quit. Now only the worse individuals remain, and they protect each other so they fear nothing
Robert Peele's Nine Principles of Policing are a good start:
That might describe a good cop, but it doesn't describe the system that makes good cops, let alone how that system might come about. All this allows us to do is sigh at every horrendously violated point.
