1. She'll be cleared on the Oops defense

4. I believe the shooting part was an accident because she only fired one shot.

In your typical, ordinary, every day, run of the mill, routine police murder, they usually empty their gun into the victim. What led up to the shooting. No accident.

5. Anyone can have an accident...

That was incompetence and malpractice

9. Yeppers

An officer is supposed to wear their service revolver on their dominant hand side and their taser on the other side. IF she was not, she was clearly out of uniform! I've heard some prefer to wear them on the same side but the requirement is supposed to avoid exactly this sort of thing. Anyway, the revolver is some heavier than the taser. Oops, my sainted Aunt Matilda!

Anyway, why was she inserting her happy ass into the situation anyway?

3. She certainly isn't putting up much of a fight.

I suppose she'll just move on, once the heat dies down.

6. Civil suit

8. It's my understanding that she just retired (quit)

and will get her pension. If I am wrong, I will take blame.

11. He was stopped for driving with expired plates then it was discovered he had pending arrest warrant

Just the facts, ma'am

12. well then of course the accidental shooting was justified?

is that what you are trying to say?

14. I said nothing of the sort, lol, it wasnt a planned shooting, thats all, a panicked cop, bad choice

Lots of bad choices, actually, they should have made him shut off the car, escorted him outside to the rear of the vehicle, they were sloppy

13. It was not an accident

It was negligence and very likely criminal negligence.
