I just think you can't have 2 different standards.

Either everyone is innocent until proven guilty or guilty until proven innocent.

But that's exactly what we have. It took two trials to convict the officer who shot a fleeing suspect in the back ON CAMERA to get convicted. It wouldn't even have made it to trial if it was a regular citizen because they would be begging for a plea that doesn't include the death penalty.

Or is it possible the system bends and sometimes breaks for preferred people and certain offices?

Your assumption that everyone is held to the same standard is at best optimistic and at worst naive.

And in cops’ case, they’re always innocent.
