There are cops who wouldn’t be the slightest bit affected by any of it, because they aren’t shitheads.
‘good’ cops protect bad cops by not calling them out. Cops that call out other cops are immediately targeted, people have been killed for trying to expose their department’s corruption. This causes a form of artificial selection that ACTUAL good cops have very little time as cops, and the only ones that stick around are the ones that turn a blind eye to literal horrors.
As yous say, if we could magically Thanos snap away ONLY the bad actors, leaving behind the actual good and the pretend good cops, THEN SURE we’d solve the problem, and maybe we could get more actual good people to apply.
But while the corrupt, greedy racist pigs have power to silence the whistleblowers, there will be no meaningful change.
The real fear by the political elite is that if they actually do remove all the bad cops, 1) There won’t be enough cops left, and 2) Now they can’t use the cops to enact unethical actions on their behalf.

Yeah but who cares? They were power trippy bastards who violated people’s rights and stuff… Right? All cops are bastards?..
See the issue here? Stereotype bad… Most cops are bastards, not all. There’s a reason we don’t like stereotypes.
it’s almost as if you didn’t read anything else in my reply…
Cherry picked a single sentence out of a long commentary and replied to just that one sentence with no real regard for the main point?
You started it…
