Knowing a guy makes a difference because the defense against 1st degree murder in this case would normally be 'they didn't know each other, the officer had no ill will towards the victim, the death was purely the unfortunate outcome of a police officer doing his job, he would have had no reason to wish to kill the victim'
If they knew each other at work that defence goes out the window.
