Yes. And I gotta tell you, I’m really torn about this particular case. As you noted, the cop absolutely did not mean to kill that suspect. It was 100% an accident.
But does her negligence rise to the level of criminal behavior? The more I think of it, the more I think it does not (and trust me, I’m no cop-lover).
I always come back to the state having to prove it was not an accident. A certain amount of negligence occurs in virtually all accidents.
I also think (solely my opinion) is that the accident occurred when she actually pulled the trigger. Both weapons had triggers. If I understand correctly you are trained to fire once with a taser and twice with a Glock. (I could be wrong on this as I am not a cop) She fired once.
You’re saying Chauvin intended to kill Floyd?
“It was 100% an accident.

Even accidents can be criminal acts. Culpable Negligence. Second Degree manslaughter.
“t (and trust me, I’m no cop-lover).”
And neither a lawyer.
