That is the same argument people use to argue for keeping the US military in Iraq. The problem with that argument, both domestically and in Iraq, is that when you reach the point where authority figures are committing crimes just as heinous as those being committed by the bad guys (such as when those New Orleans cops beat up an old man, or when the US miltary raped and killed a 14 year old Iraqi girl and then murdered the rest of her family), you already have total chaos.
The PC line is to insist that most of the cops/military are good guys. But, the truth is that most of those "good guys" are perfectly willing to lie and intimidate civilians to protect one of their own who committs a crime. That, in my opinion, is not the behavior of a "good" guy. That is the behavior of a gang, or a crime family.
