So can we all agree that police shooting innocent people in their homes, or anywhere else is a bad thing and should generally be frowned upon. Beyond that its seems that the punishment should range from no desert with dinner to hanging depending on your world view and employment history.

So the FW cop shot the old white man pointing a gun at them in his garage got no billed and never went to trial. But this cop shot a black woman that was pointing a gun at him and he's a horrible murderer and needs the death penalty.

I’m not confusing anything, I just don’t have the knowledge. I assume there is some law on the books that make a sanctioned fight exempt from the murder laws. I just haven’t seen them. I’d be interested to read them if you have the time to research it.

Is it murder in the way most think, no. Professional malpractice is an interesting way to think of it. That said simple loss of job and a law suit that will result in the individual paying nothing basically cause the will file bankruptcy doesnt seem nearly enough. These type situations need to stop. I think it's in large part up to the police department's to review process and make some changes in them. This lady was doing exactly what she should be, defending her home, a small child and herself from a potential threat. Is it an accident, almost 100 percent yes but too many accidents. I have heard the phrase "the police have a right to make it home at night" thrown around. Yes they do but no more than anyone else. If their actions are gonna put law abiding citizens in danger in their own homes some stuff needs to change. The idea that nobody can judge these situation other than Leo's is silly. Every other profession in the world is judged by the public, city managers, mayors, city council, voting public, etc fall in that chain. Our system is set up for jurors which I would expect rarely have any LEO or legal experience to sit in judgment every day over all types of things they have no experience in. The court of public opinion exists, it is real and can apply tremendous pressure. Instead of ignoring it the time may be here to accept it and act and adjust behaviors accordingly. I am a law and order guy, locking criminal up and throwing away keys is fine by me, I support the death penalty, I support LEO defending themselves, I support the 2nd amendment. All that said I'm a huge supporter of innocent human life and people's right to it.

I can't talk to you Duck....truly...it just makes me want to punch you in the crotch

his head hits the fender of a car
