No, bad cops are for locals to control.

Bad cops are also a federal matter. Two reasons immediately come to mind.

1. 18 USC § 242 - DEPRIVATION OF RIGHTS UNDER COLOR OF LAW

2. Federal grants. For example...

Grants are big business for local police. El Paso's department collects $15,670,354 from various federal and state sources.

Only if you’re a big government RINO and think states rights don’t matter.
