    The issues are systemic and won’t be solved by replacing people.

    As one example, it would be 100% legal in many states for a bad cop to rape a prisoner. No matter how many good cops testify against them, there would be no legal basis for prosecuting them. At best, department policy would give cause to fire them. Then they’ll get a job in some county with an elected sheriff who ran on being Tough On Crime ™.
