I don't think this logic is beneficial for humanity. If you take the worst parts of any organization or group and generalize it across the entire group, you end up with stereotypes, bias, and discrimination...the very things that led us down this path in the first place. There are better ways to approach this.

When the group in question does everything in its power to resist change and prevent charges and repercussions for the issue officers, it may be broken.

An issue teacher is jailed and ostracized by the entire industry. Why not for cops?

Root Cause Analysis, and comparisons. There was a thread a few weeks ago about how the military doesn't have culture of the "blue-wall" but rather actively roots out bad-actors. The thesis was that this was due to to trust in the institution itself and that this was a relative difference to police in a variety of structural ways. Looking at police departments and cultures in other countries is also instructive, but we need to get the reason's why.
