But there are just too many reports nationwide of cops that clearly don't feel and act the way that the ones I know do.
It boils down to culture within the police force. Once your inside your pretty much required to always support your "brothers" even if they are doing ***they shouldn't be. You got maybe one dumb *** for every 20~30 decent police officers, but those 20~30 will form a wall around that one dumb *** and protect his behavior, all the name of showing a "united front". If someone breaks ranks, they are severely punished sometimes lethally if required.

There is plenty more where those came from.
Then when something does make it to the public, all you get is the Police investigating their own and then determining they weren't at fault. That's like asking an Enron executive to investigate Enron to determine culpability. Before social media people only knew what was happening at their local area but now with camera's in everyone's back pocket and the ability to share those contents in seconds, all that misconduct is getting shown and the Police are still acting like they can just wave their hands and no repercussions will take place.
What we are seeing now is the start of civil retaliation against corrupt government brutality. It's going to keep getting worse, the people doing it are getting better and more organized. How long until you have a dozen people, with preassigned and studied targets executing them simultaneously? How long until it's dozens of dead police officers? If the Police don't fix their culture and fix it fast, shits going to get bloody as ***. I predicted this would happen a few years ago when those two police officers murdered that mentally ill homeless guy on the mountain and the Police Chief annouced "justified" after the video had hit the internet. You could see them murdering him, see it was premeditated and done in cold blood, see that they had alternative pacification options that they used on him after filling him full of bullet holes.
