Bit different context when the "good cops" turn a blind eye to the fucked up and illegal shit the "few bad apples" are doing.

No. It isn't. At the end of the day, you're processing the exact same thing you're likely upset with cops doing. Lumping everyone in one groups and assigning them a label. For cops, they have long treated everyone as a threat regardless of whether that's true. You're effectively doing the same thing.

Are you better or worse than them?

At a point, you're either one of the bad ones, or you're complicit in allowing the bad ones to do what they're doing.

Do you feel the exact same way about teachers letting other bad teachers get away with not doing their jobs?
