If the rule of law does not apply to police, the Constitution provides a SecondAmendment solution to “well regulate” them. And that is not a very good solution for anyone.

You should take a police training class to get a better idea of what the life of a police officer is like.
I have and one thing they put us thru is a simulation where you are chasing someone in your cruiser and he gets out and from a distance puts you in a threatening position.
They are trained at that time to take action against that threat
If you order someone to face you showing your hands and instead turn your back and reach for something that cannot be seen by the officers they are entitled to defend themselves.
They are not expected to stand there and wait until the suspect points a gun and shoots at them.
