I believe the problem comes from proof your shooting is justified.

How about a police officer?
Carry,

With respect, it always intrigues me as to why some have the idea that murdering a police officer is somehow worse then murdering anyone else.
Your stated 'police officer' scenario should be investigated, facts gathered and if need be, prosecuted the same as any other shooting.
Course, I also feel the penalty for proven murder should be extreme, no plea bargaining, no immunity and the penalty applied across the board for whomever the murderer or victim was. No exceptions. Sadly, we have people in this country sitting in prisons doing more time for traficking in marijuana then murder....that's another discussion.

IMO, what it boils down to in any SD shooting is the fact that 'the shooter has to prove he/she is justified in the shooting'. This is nothing new. Has been that way as long as I can remember and I don't know of any new laws changing that fact.
