At least outside of Texas, it's not legal to just simply shoot them for engaging in criminal mischief. If someone presents a lie to get out of punishment and a jury believes it, it doesn't matter if its a cop or soccor mom. This still isn't justification that we should make their actions legal since they're going to get out of it anyway as you implied.
Why not? It worked for the patrolman in Utah. He used "less-lethal" force to coerce submission from someone who obviously wasn't a threat, and got away with it by lying until the videos came out. And, then, he still got away with it.

Police are citizens just like the rest of us with no greater rights or priveleges than any other citizen. To think otherwise is to create a system of feudalism.
