different facts, different DA’s different outcomes,,, AMAZING. But I’m sure they got a memo from black helicopter HQ to not prosecute the cop. As for your anecdotal ‘evidence’,,, I could flood a page with things cops are prosecuted for that we usually aren’t. The fact remains that there is a devastated family here,,, and whether they are a cop or a banker, barring any unusually negligent behavior, prosecution here seems pointless.
Negligence on the part of the parents is obvious by the fact the child is dead.The parents should be dealt with regardless of their occupations.
The usual police response is confiscation of all firearms in the home and self-righteous lectures to the public on "the dangers of firearms in the home';but if it happens in a cop's home..........(crickets)
“..and whether they are a cop or a banker, barring any unusually negligent behavior, prosecution here seems pointless.”
Please allow me to expand upon the above well thought out phrase.
The state has no right ti intervene after a child dies in such cases because they do not own the child. The parent has created and raised the child - not Da Gooberment.
Neither did “the Village” raise the child, despite whatever the HillaBeast says.
If you don’t own it, you can’t control it.
Tragedies occur. Evil does exist and sometimes the innocent die.
But - to allow government outside of the carefully crafted bounds created in the Constitution is to invite the heavy jackboots of government into the family.
America tried it and all we got for it is a ‘swarm of officers’ and bills beyond calculation without exponential numbers.
Better by far that an occasional child dies than the family become subordinate to the government.
