In the lyrics of song "Justice" by Victor Wooten in his 1996 Album "Show of Hands" he says:

Twenty two cops on the scene / And only 4 go to trial

Is there a specific episode he is referring to?

my best guess is currently that he was referring to Rodney King beating ('91-'92), where 4 went to trial (could not find references on exactly 22 being on the scene). will leave it open if someone founds more corroboration (or an alternative).
