When Johnson got out of the car, Parker clubbed him on the knee and then allegedly another officer (Loss) clubbed him.

This is a real question; not a provocation. What would happen if these officers were prosecuted, convicted, and executed under felony murder (presuming Maryland law has it)?
Would it dissuade the police from such outrageous behavior? Would it cause more mindless, tribal violence on their part? Would it do nothing?
The real problem, in my view, stems from the concept of sovereign immunity. Once you have two sets of rules, the present outcome is the only outcome.
It really is a “color” issue. “Blue” vs. “not-Blue”.
Eventually the courts usually stall off the showdown by “discovering” some pressure-venting “rights” for the untermenschen.
If they do not, the police will discover, rather brutally, just how outnumbered they are. The bagpipes will blow. The mouthpiece media will hand-wring.
These “Law Enforcement Officers” will die in the street, utterly confused, bleating the eternal refrain; “But, I was only following orders…”.
Yes. We know.
