Across the country, police have undermined and resisted reform. To protest a prosecutor, one detective was willing to let murder suspects walk free, even if he’d arrested them and believed that they should be behind bars.

So cops either lie to get convictions or refuse to testify and let murderers go free and everyone is supposed to just go "Yeah, that's totally what upstanding people of strong moral fiber who are supposed to protect me do"?
None of this endears anyone to cops or the current system they operate in.
