Reply #80: why don't people inform themselves at least a little before going off on these extended rants?

your analysis is completely bonkers because if ANYONE had been killed by accident during the course of this armed robbery, ANYONE, not just the police officer responding to the call, then the perpetrator of the armed robbery would be prosecuted under the same lawyer

in fact, say there were 2 armed robbers, and the clerk at the store has a gun to defend herself and shoots one of the armed robbers and he dies, the clerk has an absolute right to self defense and is innocent of any crime, it is the surviving armed robber who goes to prison for the manslaughter -- and this is exactly as it should be

there is no special favor being granted to police officers, so your entire extended rant is completely irrelevant to reality

a common example--shit head does an armed robbery of a convenient store, the woman behind the counter has a heart attack and dies, shit head is then charged w. the manslaughter in addition to the armed robbery

there is nothing unfair, the law protects everyone who is a victim of felonious shit heads who kill people by "accident," in fact, the reason the law exists in the first place is that every time someone was killed in a armed robbery for about the last skaty-eight years the shit head would claim it was an accident and waste a lot of the court's time, no, sorry, bubba, you pick up a weapon and decide to stick guns in people's faces for $$$, let's cut to the chase, if someone is hurt it's because you set up a circumstance where there is huge and predictable chance that if you do this then someone is going to be shot or have a panic/heart attack

this conviction is proper and in accordance w. a sensible law, don't want the law applied to you, it's pretty easy, don't commit felonies
