The other point that's often missed is the phrase last three words of the sentence "A few bad apples spoil the bunch."
Allowing the "bad apples" to remain in the "bunch" means that the entire "bunch" goes bad.
The analogy is accurate. There were a few bad officers. They were allowed to remain. Now there are now a majority of bad officers.
Without a speedy and public process to remove bad behavior, including disciplinary action, retraining, firing, and criminal charges (depending on the severity and number of offenses) the police have become corrupted from within. Until such processes are in place that corruption will never be removed.
