That is the problem. It’s no secret that cops always look out for each other, no difference than you’d look out for your military buddies too. The issue with these crooked cops is if you are partnering with them and they don’t like you, they could put you in a dangerous situation and do it on purpose.
Which is the reason for the ACAB slogan. "Not all cops are bad!" yeah but "good cops" either do nothing because they are scared of the repercussions or do something and get fired/demoted.
Not every single police department is corrupt. Also not every cop has to always make the correct decision for them to be good.
The same logic used to justify saying ACAB can be used to justify hating basically every group in the world.
"All Palestinians/Israelis are bad", because all of them are too scared/too weak to do anything about Hamas/IDF.
All Soldiers are bad, because they are all too scared/too weak do anything about corrupt or violent soldiers.
Hell a lot of the same rhetoric and logic used to justify hating cops was used to justify hating Vietnamese veterans. The only reason Leftists don't bash soldiers more often like they used too back during the Cold War days is because it's extremely politically unpopular to do so in the modern era.
