Best Answer

The police can put you in jail and end your life if you end someone else's life. Police can put you in prison for life and again, end your life. So, I'd be careful if I were you.

Added: A police officer possesses the power to enforce ALL criminal laws in effect in his jurisdiction, and take into custody by means of his power of arrest, all criminals. He may legally employ any force necessary to accomplish these ends, up to, and including, deadly force if necessary.

The most powerful ability a police officer possesses is his power of arrest. ONLY police officers possess this power. No other public official, not a judge, not even the President of the US, possesses this power.
