Quote:You can't charge him with attempted murder because you would have to prove intent. I don't think that he intended to discharge his weapon. Felony assault with a deadly weapon would also be hard to prosecute because again, you have to prove intent.


You can't just make a knee jerk reaction and conclusion without knowing all of the facts.


By the way, the article did say that the victim's attorney is already negotiating a settlement with the City of Miami regarding the incident. To me that points more towards this being an unfortunate accident.


However, you do have the likes of TAM that have to automatically assume that it's racially motivated... even though we don't even know the race of the cop that pulled the trigger.

The intent was the officer disregarded the victim when he clearly identified himself and had his hands raised in the air. I know you don't agree with him facing criminal charges because shooting someone 3 times is a "accident". But he needs to be held accountable besides being terminated.!


I know it's hard for you to believe some cops are unfit for their jobs, so I understand you not going to have a reasonable response.
