The use of lethal force is within the remit of a LEO's job. This being an indisputable fact any use of force needs to be investigated before criminal charges are filed. Arresting an LEO immediately after they shoot someone during the course of their duties would require an extraordinary amount of evidence that a crime occurred and not an LEO operating under the auspices of their job. Maybe you'll delete this entire post as well?
First of all let me say that I agree with you that there is a lot more to this than what the video showed. But when there are two clear videos of police shooting an unarmed man who is doing nothing threatening and is not even accused of being involved in any type of criminal activity then most of the public are going to feel that the officer should be in jail.
All it takes is probable cause to make an arrest. They do not have to have proof enough to convict just to make an arrest. And with all the cases of police lying to protect guilty police officers you have to understand why the public feels this is another case of police feeling like they are "above the law"
