And then the woman settles out of court so nothing ever happens. She was quite happy with her 250k. Says something about her as well.
I don't think cops are any better or worse, but you do see a lot more video of every bad thing now because it's technically possible. There's also some misguided notion that it's possible to only hire "good" cops. First, it's hard to even make that judgement call on who is good and bad as if we can just read it with our multimeters. Second is that we'd have enough good cops left over to police our streets.
Bad apples will always exist. Just because you can see so many more bad apples now doesn't mean they weren't always there. Lots of good cops have bad days though, and now we put their bad days up on youtube and act like they behave like that all the time. We can act pretty ignorant sometimes, I guess.
