So did you mean, no cops shouldn't be held to that standard? Or no, malpractice suits that end careers don't exist?
Clearly we disagree on what could potentially come of malpractice suits, so it doesn't really matter. Carry on.

Cops shouldn't be held to that standard, no, because it's an entirely different sort of profession... but also,
Doctors are not even held to that standard.
Sometimes a doctor does something so bad that the resulting malpractice suit ends his career. It's rare, though. Most complaints against doctors are not career-ending.
Sometimes a police officer does something so bad that the resulting investigation ends his career. It's rare, though. Most complaints against police are not career-ending.
That is the status quo. Both in the case of doctors and police officers, egregiously unprofessional conduct can end your career, while most complaints do not end your career. The tweet purports to rely on a fundamental difference in standards that
does not exist in the real world.
