Glad to see you haven't changed at all. Unfortunately, yes, lethal force is part of the LEO mandate and job description. While this is certainly not a typical, or intentional, (although it certainly is a negligent) use of lethal force the fact that such actions fall within the remit of the LEO job description means that they will not be subject to immediate censure for using lethal force the same way a person who does not have such responsibilities would be.
I'll put it this way, for the benefit of others. If a non LEO uses lethal force defending their home, even is such force appears excessive, they will, far more often than not, remain free pending the results of an investigation. If a CCW civilian is involved in a shooting in which there appears to be justification for the shooting then they will, far more often than not, remain free pending the results of the investigation. In this instance it is readily apparent that the use of force was unjustified, however that does not eliminate the need for due process. If you prefer otherwise then we can skip the need for a trial for anyone caught on video committing a crime, after all, they obviously broke the law because we saw it, right?
This man will be arrested, and barring an overcharge meant to appease the public, will be convicted. Whinging about his not being immediately arrested only shows a lack of understanding of the process. Look at it logically instead of emotionally and it becomes obvious to anyone inclined to view it this way. He'll be arrested and convicted, that's what's important. Let the process play out.
