My dad, a retired police officer, told me that he wouldn't beat someone into telling him the location of people they'd kidnapped, but he wouldn't report an officer who did. Is that moral cowardice?

Not necessarily. It could be that your dad thinks it's morally forbidden to "snitch," or something -- in which case his actions are consistent with that belief, and he's just wrong about what morality forbids.
