As a nurse, had I ADMITTED to witnesses present that I gave a patient the wrong drug and the patient died, you can bet I would have been drug test and arrested at the scene. No such accountability if you are a cop. I wouldn't have been allowed to resign and keep my pension either.

was George Floyd. But the killer cops? Nope.
