If you judge whether the entire law enforcement is corrupt by whether there are a few bad officers, then this principle applies to pretty much all facets of the public life we can think of. For example, there are bad, corrupt judges here and there, but according to you, this means there are no good judges whatsoever. This is not true.
But in a way I sort of see your point. If police departments don't do anything to root out bad apples, that really says something about them. So I don't know.
Judges are not in a cohort the way police officers are.
If a judge knowingly abides another judge's corruption the way virtually all police officers do for each other, they are bad judges. Pure and simple.
There are some good departments. They just tend not to be in notable cities.
