That's correct. They deserve it as well and the public may well convict them and never turn back. But they will have their day in actual court even if something comes of it.
This is about cops not getting the ability to be judge and jury, because if you give it now you come into a grey area at some point. Some day a corrupt cop could use it, or an honest cop kill a person who appeared guilty but wasn't.
