An officer makes a mistake for whatever reason and someone may die from that mistake. But we shouldn't consider it murder. He was on the job, at worst he made a mistake. That's how we should view it.

So when a trucker makes a mistake and crushes a compact car with his 18 wheeler, we should just say that's a mistake and not do anything right ?

Or how about the ship captain that mismanages a ship and kills a few hundred passengers ?

Or the pilot that crashes a plane ? (of course they usually die first in the crash)

those airline pilots are always first at the scene and taking full responsibility themselves whenever they crash a plane.

But seriously, a professional or a truck driver doing a job is only doing a job. People make mistakes in the course of doing a job. Management's job is to weed those people out, when you weed them out you shouldn't care so much about being fair to the professional or truck driver, but fair to the potential victims when a mistake happens instead. But they are not criminals for making a mistake IMHO. Although the law more and more is treating them as criminals. Maybe criminal negligence should be only in cases where you're doing something over and over that you know causes damage. A traffic accident isn't criminal negligence unless the driver has his eyes shut or is extremely careless, etc. But people make mistakes.

Treat them as criminals and the only result will be that your system of weeding out the bad ones will become dysfunctional.
