You are making assumptions on variables that don't apply for every situation.
Like I said, I know that not all cops are good, nor are they all bad. They are all trained to use deadly force, if necessary. Whether they are bad cops or not, they've been given that responsibility. If it is found that unnecessary force was used, then the cop will suffer the consequences.
If a cop has been called to a potentially dangerous situation the cop wants to neutralize the danger first. Its not always just about the cop and the perpetrator. There may be other innocent by-standers.
