Large municipalities in the US have to deal with extremely strong police unions. Police unions have an outsized say in matters of police discipline and behavior. Prosecutions of police misconduct are rare - whether the jurisdiction is run by Democrats or Republicans. Your point is well taken in that Democrats typically have zero courage in bringing police misconduct under control.
Congressmen in individual districts have no say over municipalities.
