It means we apply the law equally. Yes, cops get extra privileges when it comes to necessary force, but that doesn't mean they get extra privileges when it comes to a revenge punch. Self defense is one thing, necessary force is another thing, this was in unnecessary and certainly not self defense. Given the circumstances, he probably ends up getting a pass, but you get a couple people taking offence to that hit and all of the sudden you have a riot on your hands.
You are contradicting yourself. In one sentence you say it's up to the officer, in the other you say it's up to the law, then you say it's based on injury to the suspect, then you say a judge wouldn't rule against an on duty cop. You clearly have no clue what you're talking about.
