I never said that the police never kill anyone in the line of duty. The
example given was a clear-cut case of murder, and would certainly
result in prosecution if the officer didn't cover it up. Sure, the cop
could probably get away with it pretty easily by planting a gun and
claiming self-defense, but that doesn't make it legal (this all assumes
that the cop would want to kill someone for almost no reason).

Just because something is obvious doesn't mean that it's true.
