Shooting unarmed black people ok... but

[Brian37]

You can go right back to work after legalized murder, but don't dare clock in and work for someone else.

It can be damnsome hard to prove that you knew you were killing an unarmed person in the heat of an intense situation, and being able to prove your opponent is truly armed can be difficult to prove even in the best of circumstances (at least before they shoot), let alone in the span of a few seconds, like tends to happen in those cases, which is why, even accounting for a racially biased judiciary and law enforcement, or a Congress which is allergic to getting ANYTHING done, I don't expect much to actually improve on this front.

By contrast, that misdemeanor is actually fairly easy to prove.

Have you ever seen the film Margaret? It's by the director of Manchester by the Sea and one of the major plot threads involves a hit-and-run accident with a bus driver, an old lady, and a teenage girl who witnessed it. The girl is distraught by it and does what she can to have the driver answer for it, especially after finding out that the bus driver has been in a similar situation before. At one point, she says she believes that the driver should be arrested, but a lawyer tells her that for that to work, they would have to be able to prove that he willingly and knowingly killed her for that to work.

And before you say anything else, I can only say, why, yes, that does suck.
