It's a very important point - we can influence and hold responsible police through democratic procedures, for example measure racial bias and implement de-biasing measures, but there is no accountability for the mob. Which is why we have the police in the first place.

However, as recent events have shown, the police and the whole justice system becomes an institution that protects their own, including things like prosecutors declining to bring strong cases against police abuse since they work together on other cases. I'm not saying you're wrong, just that it's more complicated than one being good and one being bad.
