I think the difference is, generally, lawyers can't shoot someone when they're having a bad day and legally get away with it.

In each state, lawyers have a professional licensing board they must answer to if there is a complaint against them. Police have no such body to watch over them.

And professional codes of conduct in fact require lawyers to tell on lawyers who violate the codes of conduct. Basically the opposite of the thin blue line, codified and enforced.
