Why is it that when ordinary people commit robbery and someone is killed they’re charged with Murder One, but when cops do it they aren’t?

See Animal Farm by George Orwell: "All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others." In particular, the pigs have special privileges compared to other ordinary animals.

See Animal Farm by George Orwell: "All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others."

Charles de Secondat, Baron de Montesquieu, one of the writers the Founders quoted often, said it first;

-----

Of the Simplicity of Criminal Laws in different Governments
In republican governments, men are all equal; equal they are also in despotic governments:
in the former, because they are everything; in the latter, because they are nothing.
The Spirit of the Laws; Book VI, By Charles de Secondat, Baron de Montesquieu
