>> all the rest of the police stand idly by as one of those in their uniforms commits acts of violence against peaceful people.

That seems to be the problem. It's not so much that one gets out of hand, it's that they don't police themselves. If they want to stop it they'll have to begin with the smaller digressions - like speeding or illegal parking when there's no reason for it. Stop your bro from thinking he's above the law even when it's not a really big deal.

We need stronger whistle blower protections, laws and incentives. The only people who can police the police are the police. So society needs to create the situation where the incentives to police themselves reward them greater than the current corrupt, immature and racist rewards they reap today.

You can't reward someone who is in power into not being corrupt and not abusing their power. You prohibit, stop and punish them. Begging only goes so far.
