[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The rush to charge the officer with manslaughter when there hasn’t even been time for a thorough investigation was a performative joke. No sane jury will convict her and then every yahoo will be out in the street burning and looting over what was clearly a tragic accident. I guess facts and reason don’t matter anymore. [/quote]Second degree manslaughter is a charge used in the case of "negligent killing," according to a former judge from Minnesota in the news article link below. It is a perfectly appropriate charge in this case.  We can all see on the video that Potter killed Wright thinking she was using a taser - so, there you go, a killing which was *negligent*.  Yeah, facts and reason *do* matter and in this case they support a second-degree manslaughter charge. Anyway, if anyone wants to see this legal expert's discussion of the criteria for different possible charges, it's worth your while to check out this link:
