He got off without any prosecution of any kind, and got rewarded with a lifetime pension of $30,000 for murdering somebody. LEO already have a different standard than the rest of us - and I'm not arguing bias, their legal standard makes them much, much, much harder to be convicted for lethal force / be sued. Top that off with the likelihood of getting a polarized jury (almost a guarantee) and they can count on their being at least one juror that will tow the line all the way to hell if need be. If we agree that our society is litigious and the emotional distress thing against officers is usually generally bullshit, then maybe we should even the playing field in all regards.
Heard Gerigos talking about this. The video is heart breaking.
