We cannot change the nature of Americans. What we can do is a better job of screening police applicants and applying harsher penalties to the actual perpetrators and their accomplices. If the upcoming trial of Chauvin’s buddies results in substantial sentences, maybe those practicing the blue code of silence will think twice before letting a fellow officer who is clearly a psychopath, commit murder.

I would hope so. But these police unions are strong and they're amoral when it comes to how cops behave. They'll always protect the dirty ones while threatening anyone with retribution should they spill the beans on how they all think and work! This is going to be a long, drawn out fight!
