Maybe someone can describe to me "police immunity"? Cops are our there risking their loves everyday as they do their jobs. Unfortunately, accidents happen. So they should get the benefit of the doubt. So Kim Potter should lose the badge. Maybe she should not qualify for her benefits because what she did was serious. But to try her for manslaughter seems to be excessive when she was just doing her job.

This will mean that certain urban areas will become "no-go" zones (escape from New York).

Would you want to die because someone somehow used their gun instead of a stun gun?

Isn't part of her job knowing which is her pistol and which is her Taser?

She killed someone.. accidentally or not.. legally she committed manslaughter folks.

Being a cop does not grant you blanket immunity for your actions.. what sort of nonsense is that?

You run over someone by accident you aren’t free from criminal liability because it was accidental.
