The officers will face a preliminary hearing before a judge to decide whether there is probable cause to hold them over for a trial and the charge for each, the district attorney's office said. No date has been set for the hearing.

I'm betting the judge tosses it. As long at the police officer claims he feared for his safety, or his partner's in this case, then history has shown they can get away with just about anything.

I am sure they will say that, but one major problem with that argument......They have a video that shows the guy running and they are shooting.

Except for the pre med a few hours before the shooting.

“For this f***ing lunatic? I’m going to shoot him in the penis with a shotgun here in a second.”

Did you watch the video? The man was armed with 2 knives and ignored repeated warnings to get on the ground. He clearly caused his own death.

I’d agree with you if there weren’t also video of these “officers” joking about shooting the bum in the groin with a shotgun on dashcam audio before there ever got there.

If I’m on a jury, that’s premeditation IMO...
