I don't hold cops to a higher standard simply because they took and oath and wear a uniform. They are human beings, nothing more.

I tend to disagree with this, Police should and absolutely need to be held to a higher standard than the general public.
They are there to protect and serve the public, not kill because they are incompetent.
I also think that in circumstances like this, the police should be imprisoned for killing a man. Even if he did resist arrest, there is absolutely no reason for them to kill him.
A certain level of professionalism should be expected of them, after all, they have an extremely important job to do!
