A comment on Supreme Court rules ex-presidents have immunity for official acts. Parent comment
Law enforcement individuals have extremely limited authority to kill people, exclusively(?) based on self-defense.
The law enforcement system has the right to authorize the killing of people but is subject to judicial review.
Ergo, if a law enforcement individual breaks guidelines and kills someone, they're charged.
If a law enforcement individual follows guidelines and kills someone, then the system is charged. (E.g. state/federal lawsuits, consent decrees, etc)
