Some are, but indictment is uncommon.

In the US, a culture of "cops and perps" has been allowed to develop and grow. This Us or Them paradigm has been examined in depth by psychologist and Stanford University professor Phillip Zimbardo since his groundbreaking failure entitled The Stanford Prison Experiment. Zimbardo identified accurately that cops, in this case simulated prison guards, are inclined to protect their peers while torturing their charges. This "covering" behavior often extends to rationalizations of illegal behavior. The rationalizations are generally why law enforcement officers are not often indicted for criminal acts. At least one reason.
