That veil of protection needs to be pierced for law enforcement at all levels. Anyone who is authorized by the state to use deadly force against the citizens of this country bear an extra burden of conduct.
Require them to have personal liability/malpractice insurance.
The insurance companies will stop providing coverage for anyone that misuses their position of power and causes a huge loss.

Very much agreed; I am currently thinking of tackling the situation in my current state via its own State Constitution. (Which prohibits laws creating another “class of citizen,” I’m currently working on an argument that all the exceptions for “law enforcement” create a de facto second class of citizen: one which is exempt from many laws.)
I agree.
