re: Piers Morgan is about to out the officer that killed Ashlii Babbit

We have to assume that the authorities have either finished their investigation, and/or have decided not to prosecute the killer. If they are not going to prosecute him, I think protecting his privacy is the right call. Disclosing the name of this person, who is innocent in the eyes of the law, will just invite street justice. I’m against making his name public.

I understand the sentiment but it doesn't work like this, or shouldn't

When a cop charged with protecting representatives of the people is alleged to have lawfully shot a citizen in the act, the people have every right to know about the circumstances involved.

It's our building, we pay for the cops, we pay for the reps the cops protect, etc.
