Some law enforcement officers are not bad people. FTFY. Just like some of the general populace are not bad people.
Given that the police is a profession that enables the use of deadly force, they absolutely need to be held to higher standards. But at the same time, it's almost a fundamentally flaw premise. Look at it this way, police have incentive for crime to continue (hence the neverending war on drugs). It allows them to get paid more, argue for more budget etc.
Unfortunately, expanding accountability at this point is far too little too late as organizations have been pretty much doing whatever they want in the name of security (Exhibit A: TSA). The system really needs a major reset in order to get back some semblance of actual balance.
