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.
