Doesn't work, but it's an admirable thought.

If enough good cops rebel then they can drive the bad cops out. Dream scenario

The issues are systemic and won't be solved by replacing people.

As one example, it would be 100% legal in many states for a bad cop to rape a prisoner. No matter how many good cops testify against them, there would be no legal basis for prosecuting them. At best, department policy would give cause to fire them. Then they'll get a job in some county with an elected sheriff who ran on being Tough On Crime (tm).
