My thoughts are there are hardly any good police officers.

I think if any officer saw another doing anything illegal or would get them in trouble, 99% of the time they wouldn’t report them. The Blue Wall is real.

Absolutely this -- for those that aren't aware of the term, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_wall_of_silence

There has been substantial evidence of police hiding or deliberately not reporting misconduct from their colleagues, often because of fear of reprisals -- which absolutely is part of the system being objectively wrong.
