Police are not above the law and should be taken into custody an accused when appropriate. When they are not, it is not legal for anyone to violently protest and not expect to be arrested.
The Law is not Above the Law
By Franklin Price

The law is not above the law
Cops were never meant to be
Although their lives are on the line
While protecting you and me
Every stop or high speed chase
Could put them in the ground
The bad guys get the first shot
When the lawless are around
The drunk and drug addicted
And criminals by the score
Object when apprehended
And bring violence to the fore
Cops supposed to take it all
And never lose their cool
Not supposed to fight back
When assaulted by some fool
Not everyone can be a cop
Not those, who are inclined,
To assault those they're arresting
With deadly forces on their mind
God forbid they kill someone
This thoughtless one in blue
Or they are killed because of it
Because of how they view
No one is above the law
Not those from either way
The lawless, or the lawful,
Who violate the laws, must pay
Those who look the other way
Refuse to prosecute the law
Should also be accountable
To be the law is not a draw
