It’s the wrong time to be discussing the “fine points of the law” regarding what to charge this cop with. Molon Labbie is entitled to his opinion about what the exact legal term is for this wanton killing, but it seems to me that whatever the legal description of what happened , a sworn officer took a citizens life, and it was not in any way justified. I just got the impression that he was trying to lessen the truth about what the officer did. I’d have thought more of him if he had had the moral outrage that the rest of us had rather than trying, it would seem to put up some sort of justification for the officer’s actions.
I understand what you are saying but in his first post his first line said the officers actions were completely out of line. Sometimes by the time the thread gets long the early comments are buried.
LEO are being gunned down because of BLM and a diffuse anger at the police. There are bad apples but the majority work hard at demanding jobs and try and do the right thing. With that in mind I try to support the police even when calling out the bad apple.
Thanks for your thoughtful comment. Some people are more matter of fact; some more vehement. To me the OP statement that this was an improper action with no situation able to justify the action was a strong statement. I didn’t read it as a justification. I read it as that’s a fact now what’s going to happen, how will it be seen in law, IMO.
That’s what’s hard about the internet sometimes, no tone of voice, no gestures or facial expressions to give content.
