Your false equivalence is just bad math with ideology thrown in.
AGAIN....third time....99% of LEO's are great and should be commended for their dangerous job. But the small few that aren't should still be held accountable regardless.
99.9% I'd say. As to being held accountable, there's a problem with the current mindset. The instant response is, "Why when an LEO shoots someone is there a long investigation but when a normal civilian shoots someone there's a rush to charge them?" The answer is simple to anyone paying attention, part of the job for an LEO is the ability to, legally, use deadly force. Thus, if deadly force is used it must first be proven that there was no reason for using it within the scope of the job. For anyone else this condition does not exist at all. Why this is a difficult concept for people to grasp leaves my mind in a bottle.
