I know the police are often seen to "get it wrong" but when you watch those reality police shows and see how quickly a situation can escalate because of a jumpy drug runner who's been pulled, or often someone for something less serious, I'm not entirely surprised that they sometimes come on a bit heavy early doors, at least until they know the person is not likely to explode in anger and cause harm and destruction.
I don't think "many" police officers commit crime, and i expect even less get away with it.
I do wonder if to attract the numbers they have had to lower the recruitment bar, because it wouldn't be an attractive job to many.
Next door's lad and his wife are both police officers on the street in S London, and another mate's daughter and her husband are firearms officers, and I've not heard of grumbles from them. The stories I have heard from them indicate it really isn't a job for snowflakes (as I doubt any job dealing with the great entitled British public is, even working on a checkout in a supermarket).
