Because there's never a negative consequence...
If the process even starts, cops nationwide stop doing their job completely.
Imagine if charging a fireman for arson meant firemen stopped responding to calls.
Or if a single malpractice suit stopped doctors from treating patients.
Cops are essentially a gang, they've been acting like it for decades now. The only time a cop will admit another cop did something wrong, is if that first cop was a whistleblower. Anything except speaking out against cops and they all close ranks to protect the "bad apple".
Nothing to add except to also point out that even where there are consequences, these are usually settlements paid by taxpayers. No incentive to change behavior when there's no impact even at the departmental level.
Example: NYPD “Transparency” Site Leaves Out Misconduct Lawsuits Settled for Millions
Which is why all cops are bad. Don’t care there are no good ones. If they do nothing they’re just as bad.
