The same rights as everyone else?! Go accuse a policemen of lying at a traffic stop. Will it be your word against his? No the cop is assumed to be telling the truth. Shot your dog because it "attacked" him? Assumed to be telling the truth. Some kid walking from his friend house to his own house has something in his hand and the cop that shoots him claims it was an AK when it was a wireless Xbox controller? Assumed to be telling the truth. Cops ram a pickup and then shoot it up, ineptly not even wounding the driver , and say "sorry we thought you were a wanted fugitive", despite the truck being a different make, model, and color than the fugitives vehicle and despite the owner of the truck was a foot shorter weighed 100 pounds less and was white where the fugitive was black they are assumed to be telling the truth.
Maybe I'm over reacting though. Let's try an thought experiment. Imagine you are walking down the street and you shoot a guy talking on his phone and say "He had something in his hand, I thought it was a gun" what is it that you think would happen to you? What do you think would happen to a cop?
The Chris Dorner case had an erie feeling that an order was given to all LEO:
“Chris Dorner; Wanted. Dead or Alive....Dead would good too”.
LEO’s assaulted people who couldn’t possibly fit the description and damned near killed a few.
How does that go unanswered, as a matter of law, like any citizen?
