In what ways would a perfect guardian become a bad cop? I'm not being skeptical--just interested in the specifics. Being anal with the parking tickets--okay. But taking home a cut of the confiscated heroin for personal consumption? Nah.

What is a bad cop?
Evil--anything that tries to destroy goodness.

The evil side is the one that makes the L, right? Or is it the other way around?

I enforce The Law, therefor I am The Law. (I think therefor I am only better: I have a club to beat people with if they think different!)
Reach this point in your thinking and any assertion of rights by someone with no authority pushing up against your righteous will is now a crime. Here's a good recent one:

It's helpful to hear primary source evidence (props to @DarkBarlow) rather than a secondary source's satirical understanding of it. It's a thought provoking video, though--thanks!

Here's an interesting find: Abuses at infamous Florida boys reform school even more widespread, report says - U.S. News
My theory is beginning to take shape--
I suspect that SJs and NFs are the types most capable of demonizing someone we perceive to be bad, which is why, even though we are normally good-natured and cooperative, at our worst we are capable of tremendous evil (i.e. NF Hitler). We rationalize away our guilt by telling ourselves things like, "He is bad for worker moral; he broke these rules" or, in the case of this boy's home, or Hitlers's anti-semitism, "These people are bad through and through--nothing is ever going to change that." I now suspect a lot of Dickensian bad guys were SJs or NFs--as well as Jane Eyre's old school master.
SPs and NTs, on the other hand, tend to be grimly realistic about their foes, and at their worst, become cynical or apathetic about evil, even going so far as exploiting it for their own ends (i.e. NT Stalin.)

An interesting bad cop case from @DarkBarlow's list:
Sherri Rasmussen’s Murder: Tracing the Shocking Resolution to a 23-Year-Old Cold Case | Vanity Fair. "Lazarus had a reputation for being tenacious, tough, and strictly by the book. In fact, in all of her years in the department, she had never had a disciplinary hearing. Not one." This one includes a video of the full interrogation.
Wish I could now add something cheerful. Despite everything, I believe that people are really good at heart.
