But that is the issue.
Is the trust broken or not and with who. Do people trust the police or are they afraid of them?
The black community in the US is fearful of any police interaction. Some truly believe they may not live through a traffic stop.
The city council in Minneapolis is looking to disband their force. Schools have ended their contracts with the force, parks and recreation as well as their University have severed ties. All of those organisations no longer Trust the police force of that city.
Here are some of the issues plaguing the Ottawa Police.

I don't think its anywhere near what we see south of us but the issues need addressing and yes it may need a change to system. The system may be an enabler of those flaws.
Unfortunately yes, things like that can erase all the work that good police officers do. Look at the CAF. Because of a few a-holes we saw a massive change in the CAF that led disbanding a regiment and changing policies that affects to this day. Canadians lost trust in the CAF and it took a war to win it back.
Each force likely has issues and some maybe not. The ones that do need to address the flaws as you said, but in some cases the system might be the flaw.
I'm not advocating a wholesale abolition or even defunding the police. I don't like the word and agree it is a bit inflammatory. But change is needed and in some cases that might mean doing what Camden did. It seems like a successful model and actually put more money into law enforcement but did it the right way.
Someone way more knowledgeable and with way more experience in police matters said this:
"No one hates bad cops more than good cops". He was quoting but stood by that and I believe him.
He also pointed to this:

Has the Minneapolis PD lived up to those?
In Canada, I think oversight is the bigger challenge and how to get the public on board with it. Transparency, communication and giving Canadians confidence in it. I'm not sure at this point if trust in the oversight process is there. And that has a trickle down effect.
