re: Rant: Cops should have to follow the same rules as everyone else

Yep. It’s supposed to be a deterrent. I think I read somewhere that the Lafayette movie theater shooter was supposed to have shot up like a church or something but when he passed by, there was a cop car out front. He then went on to the theater and happened to catch a time between shift changes when there was no cop parked out front. Apparently the relief officer got in a wreck or something like that and there was a short delay for getting an officer to the theater for their detail. He shot the folks in the in between time.
