The police force in any country attracts a certain percentage of people who are nothing more than criminals themselves. Put a gun in those peoples hands and make it next to impossible to prosecute them and they can literally run riot.

The system has to hold them accountable for their actions, at all times, and that includes when police turn a blind eye to crimes to. It works both ways as turning a blind eye may lead to further unnecessary death further down the line too.

Most people, when they know they will be made accountable, will modify their behaviour.
