You couldn't be more wrong if you tried.I disagree with the verdict and I'll tell you why.
Just because a death occurred doesn't mean a crime occurred. Just like if you run a red light and tbone someone and kill them, that's not vehicular homicide, that's an accident. An accident involving a death is still an accident.
This "accident" occurred to someone during the commission of multiple crimes. He was resisting arrest, he tried to kill a cop by taking off in his car with a cop hanging out the passenger window and he was violating a protection order. These reasons should have resulted in no charges even being filed, much less found guilty.
Of course she didn't mean to kill this kid. In 26 years on the force she'd had no known complaints against her and never fired her service weapon. Had DW simply complied with the officers orders to put his hands behind his back,, he'd still be alive.
Fighting with the police has consequences. Now cops will be less likely to even arrest or attempt to detain young black men knowing that if something goes wrong and the young negros behavior and violence against the police gets him killed, that cop could go to prison for decades.
