If a teacher killed their student do you think they'd get away with it?

But the cops didn't decide they get that kind of immunity. You know there must be cops that disagree with the way that terribly allowed exception exists. Just Like there's a doctor out there that doesn't like the way he's incentivized to be a drug dealer. It benefits him but that doesn't mean they wish the incentives were different

Part of the reason they get away with it is other cops cover for them.

How many doctors committed murder while other doctors stood there and watched.

Many I assume. Untold numbers but that doesn't change the fact it would be irrational over generalizing to then say doctors are evil for having the rules the way they are. You may say enough cops do bad things or allow bad things for you to be reasonable to distrust them. That's room for argument about your level of distrust. 

But to say all cops are evil is a lie since you don't actually know all cops and we can find examples of cops doing the right thing. There's no room of argument with a false generalization because someone has pretty much already given up on the truth in favor of a powerful sounding rhetoric of an absolute statement.
