“If your suggestion, properly parsed, is that my intention is to see this officer prosecuted for murder, you are correct.”

Before you have any idea whether there are grounds to charge him. That is despicable.

Don’t pretend that you have any other objective than to harm the country by fomenting hatred for the police.

The police are doing a damn fine job of fomenting that for themselves.

The law says he cannot be charged if it was “an accident”, or if he believed himself, or anyone else, was in immediate danger.

Which would be a ludicrous assertion on his part, but one he’ll make nevertheless.

And this is based on fact that are KNOWN.

However, I am an advocate eliminating Qualified Immunity protections from all LEO. I don’t believe it serves any purpose in the public interest, and serves only the interests of rogue officers.

While you can insist I intend to “harm the country by fomenting hatred for the police” may sound good to your small understanding, most regular citizens can see the value of holding police to the very same standards as regular citizens.

And that will be good for this country.

Oh, and by the way, you are the one who is defending a position that is despicable. One that assumes LEO should be immune from common law no matter what they do.

As for charging this officer, if he is not guilty he will not be convicted. But the Blue Wall presupposes his innocence while the citizenry has good reason to question it.
