A minority? I don't understand where that argument comes from. A minority generally doesn't hold power - police hold far reaching powers. Minorities normally do not choose to be part of a minority.
From wikipedia:
"A police force is a constituted body of persons empowered by a state to enforce the law, protect property, and limit civil disorder"
If there are a corrupt few breaking the law, the body of persons cannot be said to be performing its duty.
It's worth reading about police accountability:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Police_accountability https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Police_accountability
Generally the focus of reform is to hold the entire agency/force accountable.
