There are many thousands of police officers in this country, so it's inevitable at least a handful will be murderers. I'm not excusing it or rationalizing it. It's a math thing. There are murders committed by accountants, dermatologists, plumbers, shoe salesmen, realtors, and people employed in law enforcement.
Difference is, when it's a cop it gets national spotlight headlines, as it should, because police are legally empowered to use force, so when they abuse their authority, it is a serious breakdown in our civilization.
My point is, there are lots of murders every day in this country, but nobody ever says, "Geez, another murder by a mailman."
