The consequences of a cop doing what's good in the world and going against powerful and rich people is exactly why 
in the big picture
As well as the fact that they hand pick the most reactionary people possible for the job for very good reasons
Using IQ, police departments refuse to accept candidates they deem as too smart, so only the most aggressive, violent, boot licking meathead is allowed to carry a gun and power to kill you.
the cop who does career suicide is a trope I vibe with.
there's a TV series that is like 15 years old now which introduced the character /popped off with an Irish gardai pulling over a conservative/austerity minister's car for speeding. the minister is like, "don't you know who I am?" and the gardai is like, "yeah you're the prick that sacked all those nurses." and the minister is like, "I will have you fired for this " and the gardai just shrugs like, "you're right, might as well make the most of it" and then busts the guy in the mouth.
it was so satisfying. it flashes forward like a year or so after that event and now he's an ex-cop who does like private detective shit for the downtrodden. it's called Jack Taylor and it's OK, but sorta falls off from that starting high point.
I hope he doesn't end up like Dorner, but acab
Fired in 
I wonder if new cops get training and advice to leave celebrities, politicians, and rich people alone or if they organically come to that conclusion
I really think it's mostly organic. I don't think they tell you to be corrupt, they just tell you to "be smart" and "pay attention to how we do it" and then they either fall in line with all their corrupt piggy buddies or get fired
