Stop raising a country on winning at all costs at sports? The jocks in the police are just carrying on with their game.
For people following in a different land, US kids are raised worshipping winning and (american) football and baseball players. And mostly in that world, winning is what matters - for individuals and for the team. Fair play is a british kind of nonsense, so is the spirit of the rules. And cheating is a means to an end (getting caught is a problem: you have let your team down). When that becomes a problem the rules are touched up so that "everyone is a winner" - but winning is still the point and anyway the kids know this is BS and that they have lost. I caricature a little but only a little.
American cops are THAT. They are there to win and everything else is for the losers. They are still playing their game - and their team.
