Per CNN: Indicted Baltimore Cops:

Just viewed on a CNN report about Baltimore, the six indicted cops. They were filmed hugging each other and not cuffed as they were led into the jail. Talk about unequal justice. Anyone else would have been cuffed and moved into that jail quickly. It's sop, specially for the stuff they are charged with! No wonder people hate the cops so much!!!

Justice is what the courts mete out. It's the result of a trial.

Most of the treatment you get en route to jail, from jail to the courthouse, even in the courthouse prior to the trial depends on actions, perceptions of actions, and anticipation of future actions. The guards or police taking the cops to jail probably didn't think they'd try to make a break for it on assault them. No need for leading them, guns drawn, in leg irons and handcuffs. Oddly, this suspicion of how the cops would behave turns out to have been accurate.
