[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just don’t see the criminal intent or criminal behavior on the part of the police officer.  A terrible and tragic mistake, yes.  In no other profession would someone be held to these same standards.  A infantryman accidentally shooting another soldier (it’s called friendly fire), a driver stepping on the gas instead of the brake and hitting a pedestrian (it’s called an unfortunate accident), a paramedic, doctor or EMT not doing something correctly (it’s called a mistake or malpractice), but with a cop, it’s automatically criminal...[/quote]

Soldiers do get prosecuted sometimes for friendly fire. https://www.baltimoresun.com/sdut-marine-tanker-charged-friendly-fire-shooting-afgha-2012jan19-story.html
A driver hitting the gas instead of the brake will be prosecuted. https://boston.cbslocal.com/2018/03/20/westwood-anne-marie-mcinnis-eddie-thomson-fatal-crash-sun-glare-accident/
Michael Jackson's doctor was convicted of manslaughter. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_v._Murray

And, no, for a cop it is NOT automatically criminal - that's been the problem. Ever hear of Breonna Taylor?

I don’t think criminal prosecution was warranted in that case either.  George Floyd, yes.
