[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lawyer here who used to go after bad cops.  Video is clear and is why bodycam video is needed.  This was a mistake.  She says taser, taser taser and fires a single pull.  If she was shooting him a single pull is unlikely.  If she meant to shoot him and cover it up most would yell gun not taser, taser, taser.  The other officers are not clear for a gunshot either.  Also the context is a guy slipping out of handcuffs and there is an ongoing battle.  There is no crime committed by the officer.  Negligent homicide requires a level of intent that is not really negligent despite the name.  I will go further and say they may not be able to legally fire her.  I think they will.  Mayor is already calling for it but she will get the job back with back pay.  People may not like that but it is what I see.   [/quote]

You get your job back after a lethal mistake? The cop who killed Oscar Grant served time. [/quote]
NP. This killer cop needs to be prosecuted and spend at least a few years behind bars.  She definitely should never work as a police officer ever again given her gross lack of self-control and judgement.[/quote]

You are just not watching the video.  Or you are and you don't understand what you see.  There is no evidence this was anything other than a mistake.  There is no crime for a mistake in this situation.  Someone above said there is probable cause.  Of what?  Not that a crime has been committed.  A guy is dead.  That is awful.  But she does not have the intent needed.  That disregard.  A poster above said taser should have been on other side.  Maybe someone could argue that but I do not think so.  There is no such firm requirement and it all depends on what the officer wants to do.  But for those people saying it should have been on the other side, what if in another scenario it was and she still did this?  From my perspective no change in analysis.

She made a mistake.  there is no gross lack of self control and judgment.  She made the decision to deploy non lethal force.  That decision in the context of that video is correct.  Her judgment is correct.  She makes an error in performing.  That simply put is not a crime even when someone dies.

what is she was in a fight and used a baton.  She means to make a legal strike but she misaims and the person moves and she hits him in the head and he dies.  No crime there.  She made a mistake and there is a death.  No you would not lose your job for this.  Same as what happened here.[/quote]
