In a non-corrupt civil society, the solution to this problem would have to have a much stricter and more punishing criminal code for law enforcement officers - if they get special rights and protections, they should be held especially accountable, in uniform, and out of it.

At least remove the ability for prosecutors to take funding (wtf? who thought of this as a good idea?) and take away their ability to reduce sentences or negotiate which crimes are charged. The "crimes" should be part of the trial process and agreed by a judge or the jury or whatever mechanism you can think of. Do a bunch of the above and I would argue that would satisfy both sides of the spectrum.
