Yep. And if you are a "civilian," you are much more likely to face a jury who will decide if your feeling was reasonable. If you are cop, the DA will decide whether the feeling was reasonable, so the cop has very low probability of being held to community standards by non-LEO members of the community.

There are good reasons to have different rules of engagement as between cops and civilians, but those differences are routinely abused by the legal system. Cops literally get away with murder.
