    To be honest, police are often booked for homicide in the US. In fact a great deal of an officer's training is in how to conduct themselves in use of deadly force so that they don't end up on charges. If you want more information on the legal use of deadly force in the United States, there is a great book called "Deadly Force - Understanding Your Right To Self Defense" by Massad Ayoob talking about this sort of thing. A lot of the case studies are about police officers. Edit: This is a good article on the subject too https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2018/09/amber-guyger-fallout-how-common-is-police-crime/569950/ https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2018/09/amber-guyg...

  Indian police is notoriously infamous for what is termed as "encounter." Encounter is an extra judicial murder done by the police. Sometimes its mafia that tells the police to kill their competitors, the police pick them up and shoot them and term this as an encounter. Other times innocent civilians are murdered by the police and framed as criminals. The civilian killing is done for promotions.
