I agree that it would be relevant as far as establishing motive for his actions. It would explain what he did, without excusing what he did.
I would hope that it would not have more impact than that, unless they could prove the cop knew about the bipolar disorder in advance.
Although, even if he did know that, what action should he have taken differently ? The fact remains that a chain to the side of your head can leave you just as dead when delivered by a crazy person who cant control themselves, as it can when delivered by a sane person who knows exactly what they are doing.
