IMO, police officers should ALWAYS be held to a higher standard, and incidents like this deserve full punishment. Hope he gets convicted and sent to prison like he deserves, and not get off scott-free.
In my town, when I was in high school, there was a group of kids that were running around TPing houses for homecoming. One of the houses they hit happened to belong to an ATF agent. The agent came out yelling at them, so they jumped in their car and tried to get away. The agent chased them down, forced them to stop, and had them on the pavement AT GUNPOINT. At this point the kids realized the agent was drunk. ATF agent went on trial for the incident, charged with several things (dont remember exactly, DUI, unlawful use of firearm, something along those lines), there were 8 charges total. He got off on EVERY SINGLE CHARGE. From that point on I've had very little faith in the justice system here.

So hopefully they will do the right thing in this case and convict this genius.
