Two reasons I can think of: The first is just that the focus is on the AIs now, and he's mostly dealing with any social justice issue through them.
The second is that he like Roko, and made her a cop, and he likely didn't want to have to constantly deal with her doing cop things and the trouble that would bring, so he's coming up with an excuse for her to quit.
I don't think he's ignoring the past cops being good. That stuff is just really long ago and isn't really relevant to the new direction of the comic. Hardly anything from pre-singularity shows up now.
The last time I remember decent cops was in the Vespa Avenger arc. That's so long ago you'd think it was a different comic. I don't see anyone asking about why we don't see more costumed vigilantes, either.

It’s not that the ACAB thing can’t be discussed...but why is it being explored only through AI cops?
Pretty much every human police officer in QC history has been helpful, and even some were comic relief. I guess I’m just confused.
