Quentin Tarantino has used many ideas from Poliziotteschi films in the past and I too would love it if his last movie was a cop film. A large percentage of this genre are told from the cop perspective and include good cops battling a corrupt system. Check out films directed by Fernando Di Leo and as you watch them you can see how Tarantino has referenced them. If he uses this genre as inspiration for a cop thriller it would be one hell of a film.
Here is a quote from Wikipedia about the genre below:
Poliziotteschi (Italian pronunciation: [polittsjotˈteski]; plural of poliziottesco) constitute a subgenre of crime and action films that emerged in Italy in the late 1960s and reached the height of their popularity in the 1970s.[1] They are also known as Italo-crime, Euro-crime, poliziesco, spaghetti crime films, or simply Italian crime films. Influenced by both 1970s French crime films and gritty 1960s and 1970s American cop films and vigilante films[2], poliziotteschi films were made amidst an atmosphere of socio-political turmoil in Italy and increasing Italian crime rates. The films generally featured graphic and brutal violence, organized crime, car chases, vigilantism, heists, gunfights, and corruption up to the highest levels. The protagonists were generally tough working class loners, willing to act outside a corrupt or overly bureaucratic system.
