If a garbage man shoots someone, he gets a criminal trial, same as everyone else. If it's a defensible shooting, he'll be exonerated.
What is the point of society paying for a police program, if not to be better trained and better equipped personnel to handle these kinds of dangers?
Equip police with recording equipment to maximize their ability to justify and defend their actions, and then remove all special provisions that allows them to kill someone and not stand a full criminal trial.
