Why just police officers?

I realise that nobody expects to be killed in the course of their work and agree that it is disgusting to kill somebody who is simply doing their job, but we should not have one law for one section of society and a different law for others.

The police have fought long and hard to overcome the assumption that they are above the law. They are just as likely to be charged with a crime as anybody else should they commit one. The law should be the same for everyone whether white, black, police or Joe public..
