We really need to fire such officers immediately to start sending the message to the rest of the force that they are meant to be protectors of the citizens and not their oppressors or overlords.

Good luck with that. Won't happen. A brother-in-law is a cop, and used to brag about his buddies beating down suspects, sometimes totally innocent suspects. We were buddies as teens and he was a punk. This was several decades ago, and he's still on the force although mellower now. The younger cops now are worse. I have another brother-in-law who left the police force because of witnessing the savagery; he wouldn't participate. Remember, the cops are not your friends.
