I live in Canada and also know several cops who are great people;however, even they would not raise a finger to expose fellow cops who are indeed bastards
That's the problem, it's not a few bad apples, it's a shit ton of them and the few remaining good apples are too afraid or just not care to do anything about the rest
The whole point of "a few bad apples" is that they spoil the bunch. The idiom is "A few bad apples spoils the bunch". Just like keeping bad apples in a basket with good ones ruins them, so too are your "great people" ruined by putting up with the assholes they work with.

I know several cops and they are all great people. I live in Europe though, and hating all cops isn't luckily considered normal here.
