Oh my god, Jon, what a ridiculous analogy. There are innumerable cases of car "accidents" where people have been killed (civilian and officer) where the punishment does not seem equitable and people seem to get away with little or no penalty even when a life has been claimed.

This woman driving 16 miles an hour over the speed limit and not seeing or steering around or stopping in time to not hit the officer (who stepped out in front of her) is NOTHING like 5 officers mowing down an unarmed man in a hail of 50 bullets, including a reloading.

Sounds like this revision to police policy in that area that trained their officers to step in front of speeding vehicles in LONG overdue:

Since the Corporal’s death, the Department suspended the use of the Step Out method on roadways that exceed 35 miles per hour. All personnel will undergo extensive traffic training beginning this month.
