While I still don't agree with your arguments, I think this specific point deserves attention.

Yes. It is likely than not, that he would have gotten away with the murder is he was on-duty copy responding to a theater disturbance call. There would likely still be disciplinary hearings and termination for a cause, but not jail time.

I do agree that police has mostly unchecked power over you and as a private citizen you are not on the even playing field with them in the justice system. All of this is highly problematic.

Still, the above has nothing to do with the old codger with lose marbles who decided to go off the deep end with guns blazing.

In no way shooter's behavior is an example of police abuse.
