Exactly. The issue is how to make the bad cops accountable. When the system is set up to protect even the bad cops, there is something seriously wrong. ALL good cops should want reform that makes it easier to get rid of the bad ones.
This seems similar to the Catholic Church trying to hide the abuse of kids by moving around the priests involved. If there isn't a way to deal effectively with the bad apples, then the system is broken and needs to be changed.
