Right.
It says under color of law.
Pretty sure that the laws in Texas prescribe police identify themselves when making a health and welfare check before the moment they are shooting the resident.
Contrary to your assertion just now.
You see nully, as much as it may irk you.
And as much as it may shatter your Walking Tall fantasies...
Police are constrined in what they are allowed to do when wearing a uniform. Shoot first and ask questions never (as you just directly implied) do not fit the bill.
That's what I said.
Walking Tall fantasies? You do know I run the Jack-Booted Thugs ping list, right?
Why do you suppose I do that, hmmm?

Manslaughter under color of law is murder in Texas, I believe - automatic upgrade as the peace officer is expected to know better. Texas also does not differentiate voluntary from involuntary manslaughter.Murder, murder most foul, plain and simple.
