Exactly what "the bad apple spoils the bunch" is about, and it's constantly misquoted by people defending the police forces. The problem is not the bad apple. The problem is the system designed to corrupt new recruits, attract only the easily indoctrinated, and drive away anyone trying to do anything about it. Thus the whole bunch is spoiled. You have to get rid of the system or you continually will only have spoiled apples.
I agree with a systematic approach to problem solving, especially when so many of the large problems are systematic in nature. I don't personally believe too much can be done from the inside, but I'd love to be wrong and have progress come from wherever it may, and I know my way is not the only way. Not gonna spend my time trying to work from the inside though.
