He has a right to go home at the end of his shift. And now he has the right to a trial for the laws he broke and the life he wrongly took. He should be charged criminally if he hasn’t been already.

You literally cut off the second part of my sentence when you quoted me thereby taking it out of context. You the proceeded to convey basically the same point I made - that the cop committed a crime.

Not saying you did it purposely, but just wanting to clarify.

I have relatives who were police officers and I understand the idea that they have the right to “go home after their shift”, but there is also a knowledge that as part of their job they do put themselves in harms way. The cop should have drawn his weapon while ordering the guy to drop the gun. He didn’t. He drew and fired. That’s a crime.
