For that matter, who can say they've never overreacted? Or never made a mistake? I'm not saying it's not tragic, and I'm not saying policemen shouldn't be circumspect in the use of violence. But for the most part, in civilized countries - which Greece no doubt is, your anecdotal evidence notwithstanding - policemen aren't rabid killers shooting people for the fun of it.
I don't doubt it. All I'm saying is that policemen aren't placed above the law simply because they're allowed to carry weapons and enforce the law on others. They have to set an example for people. If they kill an innocent person, they should undergo the same kind of punishment anyone else. That is all.
