Yes, but they're like Scientology was in the 90s and 00s; unlimited funds, very strong union and political support and they investigate themselves with cult like omertà. It's gonna take a few decades of relentless scrutiny and political pressure to prosecute them before it gets any better. It seems like an entire generation of police are used to this type of corruption.
You can gauge how deep and normalized the corruption is by how blatant some are about it.
It's sad, because a lot of people join the police force because they want to do good for the community, and they're colleagues with people like this. The good people end up leaving or getting corrupted.
"As one bad apple spoils the others, so you must show no quarter to sin or sinners."
We've let this fester for decades. Also, this attitude and blatant disregard for citizens rights is at all levels of policing; local, state and federal. It's a cancer that has riddled the country.
