    “Good” cops become automatically bad just by failing to police their own. One single openly bad cop is enough to make ALL of them bad. They have way too much power to be allowed one single abuse, let alone a systematic persecution of poor people.

      They always say “we have a few bad apples” and never acknowledge the complete expression “bad apples” comes from, which is “a few bad apples spoil the bunch”. I think the full expression makes the analogy correct.
