this is the best that good people can do in our system

The bad apple thing was an aside. Even if it's not a bad apple problem, less bad apples is a good thing. But I think bad apples (or more generally) "police culture" contributes significantly to the problem. 

A 4 year education requirement alongside a quasi-repurposing of police could achieve much. Bad apple or no, I think that's worth trying.

And the fact that crime is so heavily linked to poverty, which itself is pretty heavily linked to race, the disproportionate number of minorities they see when they patrol the dregs of humanity ends up creating a feedback loop of racism that, frankly, could very well only be helped by a vast overhaul of society.
