While I agree in principle I think the public sees the act of pulling the trigger as much more egregious than the crime that began the initial traffic stop.
As I said, there is no nuance to this debate.

Even though the discharge of the weapon is an accident I have no problem with cops shooting someone that, while resisting arrest, jumps in a car.
A car is a weapon, probably one of the most dangerous weapons a person can have. You can take out way more people with a vehicle than a gun.
Cops should be fired but should not face charges nor should the family receive a settlement. This young man made a poor decision and it cost him his life. It's unfortunate and hopefully better training can come from it but at the end of the day HIS poor choices lead to this result.

I couldn’t care less about CNN or their agenda. I know what they and many liberals are doing with these opportunities. Is it crazy to think they’re despicable while simultaneously thinking LEOs frick up and deserve consequences too?

Of course not. The issue is when you base your decision on LEO's fricking up from them.

That’s illogical. If she should be fired, the family is getting a settlement.

That sounds an awful lot like a nuanced opinion which is not allowed.

Not sure why you’d direct this at me. I’m not basing jack shite on CNN’s opinion of anything.

In this world, yes. In what should be reality, two people made pretty shitty decisions. One is dead and the other will, at the very least, lose their job and face prosecution. Call it a wash and keep rolling.

Pretty sure he was talking about the public in general.

Why the frick is that? Everytime someone gets fired if another party is effected then they should be compensated?
The perp resisted arrest and had multiple priors, if the perp hadn’t resisted arrest he would be alive today.
I don’t get this victim mentality when the perp caused the entire sequence of events.
ETA: whatever the frick happened to the idea that government was immune from financial consequences? Or whatever it used to be? People want the government uninvolved, then want to hold the government responsible anytime their poorly paid employees frick up? It’s absurd.

I watched the video. The dipshit lost his life because he resisted arrest, jumped in his car and tried to drive away. During the confusion, which the victim caused, the cop grabbed the wrong weapon. shite happens when dipshits make stupid decisions. The cop should not be charged or fired. The family should not get a dime.

Not at all. It’s completely logical.
But this will be said by no one anywhere on main stream media.
It will be a bunch of talk about air fresheners, systemic racism, and defunding the police.

Poor performance isn't gross negligence. The young man escalated the incident not the police. The cops could have done their job better but the fault of the incident lies on him.
I see what you are saying though. Unions have made it impossible to fire cops for anything less than a gargantuan frick up, which I stated earlier that I think someone getting behind the wheel in that situation is the same as grabbing a gun so I don't see him getting shot as said frick up.
Perhaps they should just be suspended or pass further training before being put out on the street again if ever.

OLDER FEMALE COP WHO SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ON THE STREET. DID NOT KNOW DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HER GUN AND TAZER. ISN"T DIVERSITY HIRING GREAT ?

Is this even poor performance? I mean holy shite this was an escalated life or death situation, you can’t perfectly train for this no matter what anyone tells you. It’s a terrible situation for all involved, but this idea that you can resist arrest and your family prosper is ludicrous.

Can anyone provide a summary of this or provide a good link?

in this case the cop fricked up because the department literally admitted she fricked up
