Here is one of the studies. Do a search on ‘police abuse of force’ and you’ll find a lot of info.

http://www.ncjrs.gov/pdffiles1/nij/181312.pdf

“more than two-thirds (67.4 percent) reported
that police officers who report incidents
of misconduct are likely to be
given a “cold shoulder” by fellow
officers, and a majority (52.4 percent)
agreed or strongly agreed that it is not
unusual for police officers to “turn a
blind eye” to other officers’ improper
conduct”

Another interesting factoid, 15% of excessive force claims are made against less than 1 percent of the officers.
