Why? Don't like losing arguments? You'd think you'd be well accustomed to it by now.

...and civil

No the facts aren't too sparse. If merchandise it is civil but livestock is criminal.

This isn't negligent homicide. In the midst of mayhem (brought about by the criminal conduct of the deceased), she mistakenly grabbed the wrong piece of equipment. Human beings aren't 100% perfect, and under high stress make mistakes regardless of their level of training, professionalism, and experience. Our criminal laws don't punish this. That's for civil law.

If the dead guy was a good ol boy wearing a Maga hat and driving a pickup, I'm guessing everyone would want the incompetent officer executed at the town square.


This situation is unfortunate, but she literally had 26 years to train, she failed to do so, and acted negligently.

I have literally witnessed with my own eyes people on FTO preform better in similar situations.

Yep, can be both

You just said a person can’t be charged criminally for running over a four year old.

But do continue with your bullschit.

I think you need some work on your reading comprehension.

100%.

Everybody is so nuts with division they will argue the case for this woman’s actions.

And they have no experience or clue what they’re arguing for.

She was most definitely negligent which resulted in a homicide.

well its to late for that young man he is dead , yes he should have not resisted but if i was a cop i would have just let him go and caught him later at home if he needed to be arrested. simple thing to do and no one gets hurt . some how some way someone needs to figure out how these young black people got to learn not to resist a police officer and behave themselves ????

I first turned this over to the sheriff department and they claimed the DA said it was civil. Which means the DA assumed the statue was the same as with merchandise. After reading the statue I knew they were wrong and I contacted the State Brand Inspector and he agreed it was criminal and he was getting close to making an arrest when the guy decided to pay me after 23 months of nonpayment.

I wrote this in another thread but it seems to fit well here too..

Will it be different when it's YOU, your friends, your life lost, your guns taken, your freedom gone, being a felon for what you legally own now, eliminated like Ashli Babbitt, or victims of red flag laws, and not some black thug?

You making an assumption that no one would be hurt at his residence

It resulted in a death. Homicide requires mens rea. The minimum mes rea for homicide is reckless disregard for human life. No level of mens rea, however, was in evidence here. It was simple negligence resulting in death, like a doctor, at the end of a double ER shift, grabbing the wrong hypodermic syringe off the table and injecting it into the wrong patient. That's the sort of thing we have civil actions for.

You are so far removed from reality or live in an alternate universe

26 year female cop. Probably didn’t attend training the last few years because “I’ve done my time”. Not surprised at all. Big difference from a pistol in the hand over a taser....purposefully so.

Negligent homicide is the killing of another person through gross negligence or without malice

This means an act of recklessness or negligence caused the death of another person. The death must not have been intentional or planned in any way. Rather, it was the result of an accident

Reckless disregard for human life is an element of that crime, which isn't in evidence. This case is analogous to the case of the ER doctor I described above.
