They have to meet a higher standard than the average citizen.
Those were teenagers. Teenagers often act stupidly. Shooting them is usually not the solution, as tempting as it may be, sometimes.
Most people "live down" their mistakes. Cops and Doctors tend to bury theirs, unfortunately. More care needs to go into the suitability of WHO answers a "shout".
I.E. A cop who's just been through a highly stressful situation may not be the best candidate for the tactful resolution of a relatively minor problem, and may even escalate a situation with impaired people/judgment skills.
