I remember this and remember thinking it was too difficult for ME to make a decision and thankful I was not on the jury.

I'd more than likely would call it justifiable and /or unintended consequences and pretty much exhonerate the cop.

THIS is why no one wants the job and why a lot of crime continues.

The decision for me hinges on the use of deadly force.

If he didn’t legitimately use deadly force then the shooting was unjustified and third degree manslaughter applies.

Either you agree with points 1 and 2 or disagree with points 1 and 2. But you shouldn’t be split.

This guy was a mistake, an affirmative action hire.

He was able to get the drop on Ms. Damond because he was sitting in the car with his weapon UNHOLSTERED.

I’ll bet his partner’s ears are still ringing.

He shot from inside the police car, ACROSS his seated partner’s seat.
Both are no-nos.

Shooting a foreign woman in her pajamas who called the police for help == bad cop no donut.
