@Felthry In short, it's because the system is full of bad actors who will bypass reform attempts (e.g. diversity training courses with test requirements having the answer key given to those in the course, ignoring training videos and being willfully overlooked by their superiors), who will refuse to report on their fellow officers, and who will intimidate, assault, or even kill officers who make reports against other officers.

Apologies for the half-remembered summary, but I've had to shut down most of my electronics due to heat concerns and am stuck on my phone.
