3. at this moment, there's no EVIDENCE for any charges more than that.

4. Facing 10 years in prison

Based on similar incidents, I would expect a plea deal in the 2-4 yr range

5. Okay. That's something. And maybe appropriate.

I think that might well stick whereas anything more wouldn’t.

7. They should have perp-walked her. Guessing they were trying to keep the arrest out of the public eye

To spare her the humiliation?

They could have begun the work of regaining the trust of the community if they'd publicly perp-walked her.

Anyone else (especially if they were black) accused of murder would have faced the long handcuffed walk to the squad car.

8. Probably the right charge for now

But I can see a big lawsuit being available here.

9. I'm still stuck on one thing: 26 years on the force and she mistakes

her taser for her service revolver?????

TWENTY-SIX YEARS on the force and she makes a blunder like this? Where an innocent man DIES??? Shot to death by her “oopsie”?

If she were a rookie, it might, repeat - MIGHT - be at least minimally understandable. If it were her first or second time out, in the field, or she was a trainee, maybe. MAYBE a wee bit.



Maybe.
