An original ?issue remains; ?why should an audience care? ?Why should they want them to succeed?
Given the negative image of the police in the USA, what can you say about them that would give an audience a reason to be on their side, to root for them? ?They deserve to be fired -- heck, tried, convicted and sentenced to jail for the violations of the law, abuse of authority. ?They are ?outlaws, scoundrels.
What is their implied character arc?
Or do wish to portray them as rogues who by pulling off some 3rd Act heroics are able to get away with their abuses, don't have to fess up to their misdeeds, don't have pay for their crimes?
What dramatic theme are you exploring with these rogue cops, anyway?

You need an inciting incident that is connected to their goal, it's not backstory rather the opening image or start of this story. Whatever you chose to put in the story it would best serve your cause to make the events connect via a cause and effect relationship.
They did something in the opening image (their normal world) the council decides to shut them down (inciting incident) they must take down the biggest criminals in town (goal).
