In my case, I'm judged according to the law. If I did kill a person, claiming it was justifiable is a defense against prosecution for murder, manslaughter,etc.
In the case of a cop, he is "judged" by his department's POLICY on deadly force. Only if his actions are found to be outside the policy guidelines is he then on a level playing field with me.
The video showing the cop killing the guy as he was getting out of his overturned car is a perfect example of the disparity between cops and the rest of us. Initially, the D A announced he would not prosecute him, even though the cop was in zero danger.
