So you are conceding the fact that it was a bad shoot and your only question is whether the officer has criminal liability, is that correct?

Its a “bad shoot” in the sense that an innocent person was killed. Just like its a bad shoot when our military kills our own personnel in friendly fire. The issue is whether a CRIME was committed by the police officer, in contradistinction to negligence or gross negligence. If it is true that the deceased pointed a handgun at the window where the cop fired from, it would not shock me if a jury said “not guilty.” Again, I keep cautioning everyone to wait for all the facts. BTW, as an aside, I watched the video again and it appears that the inside of the house was a complete disheveled mess, with items strewn everywhere. This may have been why the cops didn’t announce themselves, because they assumed the place had been burglarized and ransacked. We will find out soon enough.
