No it doesn't matter the young man is dead because of her actions. If someone runs a red light and kills someone in an accident did they kill the person on purpose? No, but they are still held accountable for that death.Yes, it does matter. Do you believe she killed him on purpose?
So if you run a red light and kill someone will it just be written off as a tragic mistake or will the person who ran the light be held accountable?Should she be on the job? Nope. Is she likely to be sued? Of course. If she has immunity, she may not be on the hook for the civil damages, but the victim’s family will be taking home a big old chunk of change.
Still and all, a tragic mistake is still just a tragic mistake.
How mighty white of you.So, your weak ass rejoinder is noted.
{correcting a missed typo in prior post}
And how are they held accountable?No it doesn't matter the young man is dead because of her actions. If someone runs a red light and kills someone in an accident did they kill the person on purpose? No, but they are still held accountable for that death.
But they are not charged with 1st degree murder. I never said she shouldn't be held accountable, but whether it was intentional or not determines how she will be held accountable.No it doesn't matter the young man is dead because of her actions.

Folks break the Law, that is why we have police. If she were a rookie I might give her some leniency, but this is a 26yr veteran who probably trains subordinates.And how are they held accountable?
If one deliberately runs a red light that action is reckless by definition. The driver didn't intend to kill anyone but DID intend to run the red light.
The difference is actual intended action. If she intended to use nondeadly force, how was it reckless or intentional?
One other wrinkle here that you DELIBERATLY ignore.....why did she need to reach for her taser in the first place?
Do we not have an intervening cause brought on by the jackass who made a taser necessary in the first place?
So what should her punishment be?But they are not charged with 1st degree murder. I never said she shouldn't be held accountable, but whether it was intentional or not determines how she will be held accountable.
That was the reason he was pulled over?Anyone that would actually pull someone over for having an air freshener hanging from their mirror belongs in prison.

A tasor weighs about 8 - 10 ounces, a loaded 9mm weighs 2 -3lbs.
Officers are trained to put their gun to the dominant hand side to prevent this from happening, right?
Just these 2 things alone should prevent you from mistaking a taser for a gun.
That was the reason he was pulled over?
If found guilty of second degree manslaughter, 2 to 4 years of prison. She should never be a cop again.So what should her punishment be?
Can't take the heat don't be a cop.Folks break the law.
They resist arrest.
They make the job of police VERY FUCKING DANGEROUS.
Then, their family complains when cops make mistakes.
I want YOU to do the job of police. Do it. Go be a cop. Let's see how you perform, you dumb fuck. You better not make a single mistake motherfucker.
I would presume that you knew you were driving. You then had a special Dury of caution. Yes, it is still an accident, but that’s where your attempt at an analogy fails. It’s likely still not something you’re grasping. But if you try real hard you might be able to unravel this non mystery by reading carefully.So if you run a red light and kill someone will it just be written off as a tragic mistake or will the person who ran the light be held accountable?
Especially those on the giving side of it, smfh.How race conscious of you. I have discovered that most of you racists are race conscious.
That makes sense don't hold Potter responsible, hell the taxpayers will pick up the tab.Criminally liable? Not even close. There is no evidence that Potter shot Wright on purpose. Furthermore, Wright escalated the incident by trying to flee. You can't resist arrest and try to flee in your car with cops hanging in it and not expect some blow back. Unfortunately, for Wright that blow back was a mistake by a cop that cost him his life.
Civilly Liable? YES Potter obviously is done as a cop. Wright's family has very legit lawsuit against Potter and the city.
