They clearly miss the fourth where heaven forbid a police shooting is an incredibly unique situation where the accused, an officer sworn to uphold the law, has a vastly different set of rights and responsibilities compared to your normal accused. Police are afforded more rights and powers then your normal citizen under the Criminal/Penal Code. I know people are disappointed and there is a basis for moral outrage. However, given comparables, this is really no surprise.
