All murders are homicides, but not all homicides are murder.

Homicide just means death at the hands of another. Self Defense is homicide, but not murder.

Absolutely. It’s certainly become clear to me after watching a lot of badge-cam videos that officers should be patrolling in buddy teams and we should almost never have officers attempting to arrest suspects alone.

A lone officer approaching even a lone unarmed suspect is just asking to end up in a wrestling match for his gun if the suspect is so inclined.

Good Lord. They’d better have had a police department full of Batmen for that money.

That was 10 years ago. Cops in CA make more that that now.
