US law enforcement officers who are sworn are obligated by oath to enforce the laws/ordinances/statues etc. Both on & off duty.
Are they "special"? yes
Now does that mean they are not accountable for their acts/statements? No.
If they get intoxicated or fight, they face criminal charges the same way a regular person would. They might even get a write-up or - career actions because of it.
John & Mary license holder are not cops & they don't have arrest powers.
