When a Lord kills a peasant, he doesn't even get a slap on the wrist - it was a "good shoot" (the present case).

It remains to be seen what happens with the officer in this case. I'm assuming the investigation isn't over, but perhaps I missed something.

I don't really believe there is a double-standard, to answer your question. A shooting by a police officer is always a tough situation. In too many cases police officers find their careers essentially derailed after they are involved in a shooting incident, even if it's "clean." This alone can cause an officer to hesitate to fire in a situation where he really shouldn't. Some officers get shot as a result. My opinion.

Talk about an identity problem points straight to the Peace Officer. He was not in uniform but was wearing a "bib". Police wear bibs?

If an officer wants respect he should wear a uniform, a hat, and a badge. There are many peace officers strolling around in POLICE t-shirts (which you can buy at any flea market), shorts, and tennis shoes. The victim probably had no idea he was being harrassed by a "real cop".

The trash collectors in many towns dress more proffesional than the police.
