The California Attorney General has declined to file criminal charges against a Los Angeles police officer who fired a rifle at a suspect inside a clothing store in 2021, killing a 14-year-old girl in a dressing room
It was quite clearly an accident. I’m sure there are actually bad cops to chase after. I don’t quite see the need to punish someone for an outcome they didn’t intend. For the very least it should be taken into account in the sentencing. Yeah the situation could’ve handled better but this dude thought there was an active shooter and still rushed in. We need more people like him - just better trained.
