"Acknowledging there are some good cops" is more critical than the majority of the media landscape gets about cops. Most shows that feature cops might occasionally nod to the possibility that there are some bad cops - but not the protags though, the protags will expose them and take them down, without any lasting negative impact on their own careers. Even media that centers criminals as the protagonists will usually treat cops as bumbling obstacles at best, and hero antagonists at worst, and if they do feature a dirty cop, there's a point made of "not all cops though".

I don't personally think there's anything particularly wrong with enjoying police procedurals, any more than I think there's anything wrong with enjoying spy fiction, or fiction about serial killers. But it's silly to pretend that "good cop" fiction isn't the norm, or that the slow turn against cops in progressive spaces has had any real impact on the media landscape.
