They're examined, but the only way a cop is actually going to get jail time or even dismissed is if he kills someone politically connected and there's a videotape. They've got pretty much carte blanche to kill whoever they want.
Even with the new law, ordinary citizens don't have that kind of protection. They're still going to be prosecuted and judged; it's just that they'll be judged based on more reasonable criteria.
