I've known plenty of individual cops who are very kind and are genuinely nice people, but the structure of the police is an abhorrent disgrace.

 Sure, Officer Xiong doesn't abuse his power, but odds are he wouldn't report a fellow officer because probably nothing would be done about it. He'd be known as a blab or a rat and be ostracized by the others. That on top of all of the cruel and corrupt and violent cops who've been outed that can just move one jurisdiction over and work there. Qualified immunities, the police union in general, civil forfeiture, having tax payers pay for their lawsuits...

A rotten log can grow edible mushrooms now and then, but it's still a corpse rotting in waste, growing toxins.
