Like I wrote, it just "seems" like cops aught to protect themselves by calling out the shitheads and getting them out.

I'm sure it's worse in serioisly urban areas like Chicago or NYC, so maybe you haven't experienced it as much. But the perception of cops covering for each other when bad shit happens is no bueno.
I seem to recall bad cops in MN had the attention of the prosecutor, Presidential candidate Amy Klobuchar, and she didn't do anything about it. She deferred to grand juries. Then you have police unions protecting bad officers. So, maybe it's not just the officers protecting themselves?
