Disregarding all the parts of your story that don't make sense, or are downright very uncommon with home invasion defensive shootings (ya, I doubt any of this happened from how you wrote this story) - your point about self defense not being the same power as the police is a little precarious.
Police shootings are almost always defensive shootings. Maybe you might disagree with the rationale behind the need to apply deadly force in some specific situation - fine - but that doesn't suddenly mean police have some 007 "License to Kill" or anything.
The police are flatly not allowed to indiscriminately shoot people - just like a citizen isn't allowed either. There's very few police shootings when compared to the volume of interactions they have nation-wide every year. When there are shootings, they are reviewed to determine if there was a crime committed - and punished if there was.
Perhaps criminal review and punishment need to be stepped up? But just because there's some agencies that don't hold some officers to the same standards as everyone else doesn't mean it's like that everywhere.
