I believe him to still be a very good decent person.
And I have no doubt that he stood by, silent, as other officers treated someone too roughly, or as they violated someone's rights. In the current state of policing, it's very likely that to get anywhere career wise, silence is necessary.
People can say that I am generalizing unfairly, but I say grow up, and stop being naive. Good police officers standing up to bad apples is television fiction.
