Also i completely agree with you that taking away their worker's rights is never going to mean they pay for their crimes more often. It's never going to change the fact that cops often don't feel comfortable or even safe ratting out a corrupt colleague, or change the fact that the people in charge of punishing corrupt cops for their crimes are all too often people they're close to, who will try to protect them any way they can, and prosecutors, judges, their co-workers and bosses are all guilty of doing this all too often.

What WILL happen if we take away their rights is that they'll lose their bargaining power, and eventually being a cop will come with fewer benefits and lower pay. It will no longer attract the more competent and qualified people who would otherwise apply, especially if the risks of being a cop start to really outweigh the perks. Turnover could become a problem, if being a cop becomes just another job rather than a solid career, to the point where the majority of officers on the street would be inexperienced and poorly trained. It would most likely make the problems that guy was talking about 100x worse.
