The purpose of vetoing punishment due to authority mishandling isn't to blame the legal system, but to blame the cops. The criminal faces repercussions from committing a crime, but a cop should also face repercussions from abusing their power. If the way a cop executes their duty is irrelevant to a case, it would never be brought up and nobody would care as much about it.

The dude got shot and was hospitalized. Putting them in jail would be redundant
