Yes, I know exactly the point you were trying to make. The point I was making is that's preposterous. The two have nothing to do with each other. The protections afforded an LEO under 42 USC 1983 case law are not prizes to be found in boxes of Cracker Jacks. They reflect certain unique characteristics of the role and responsibilities society imposes on LEOs.
