Doesn't matter. The evil cops forced this person to accidentally shoot himself. Charge the cops. Defund the rest of them.

That was nice of him to do a suicide without having the cops do it for him.

A lot less paperwork involved. Don’t cops get immediately put on admin leave when they shoot someone? This time the cops don’t have to have the stress of killing someone on their minds.

The heckler fell out of an upper story window four times and was deemed accident prone by the hobbit he’d heckled.
