If I fucked up and shot the wrong person, or failed in some other task that took somebody's life, I would be tried under the UCMJ (Uniform Code of Military Justice). The Police should be subject to the same, but are not. When they fuck up, they get to go to the softer civilian court.
They've forgotten their job description, and it's costing american lives.
I would like to see some vet come on TV and laugh at cops saying they were afraid of someone holding a screwdriver.
I would also.
I reject your reality and substitute my own!
