You can charge the father, but the police should be held accountable. The cop is on record of saying he thought someone else pulled the trigger, I'd say it's fair to question his innocence.
The father, if knowingly harboring a murderer in the home with children is also guilty.
The use of flash grenades wasn't protocol according to sources. Police need to rethink their approach to finding fugitives in homes, it's dangerous for everyone involved. If you live in the hood and armed men burst in your home and flash grenades are going off, what would be your reaction?
I totally agree with all of that; just pointing out that at least some of the family is partially responsible here. I believe the police were negligent here but it isn't murder as some of the hyperbole and rhetoric suggests.

I think it could be involuntary manslaughter which isn't murder, but is still a punishable crime. Police will not change tactics until individual officers are held accountable and the municipality is handing out big bucks.
Judge threw out the charges in this case mainly because of a lack of proof. His recklessly discharging a firearm charge ended in a mistrial. It's difficult to prove police misconduct without direct video evidence.
