While the facts show that the officer lacked the comportment and composure required to perform his job well, at least I can see that this was done out of panic and not some sort of malfeasance. The NRA's silence, well, says a lot unfortunately, IMO.
And his panic driven actions resulted in a death. Maybe it was a murder (maybe there was intent, maybe there was a plan to shoot the "robbery suspect" all along) but there weren't facts to support that charge. However sentence one of my post is more or less the definition of manslaughter. There were facts to support that charge, and the acquittal is ridiculous.
JOHN ROBERTS: From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly so that you will come to know the value of justice... I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
