Let me summarizes the entire article:

  1. Ethical cops decrease crime. So less of them are needed.

  2. Corrupt cops increase crime. So people think they need more cops. Which increases crime some more...etc...

Fewer cops over is best case fewer corrupt cops, worst case, fewer ethical cops, or in all cases less cops. Sounds like a net win.
