[QUOTE="Dave70968, post: 2692612, member: 13624"] I think murder is overcharging; murder, by definition, requires intent. Manslaughter or negligent homicide, however, ought to be on the table. As to the doc: in general, patients come to them with the understanding of risk; further, the surgeries they perform are (usually) necessary, as lesser means would be insufficient to properly treat the patient. Police get to choose how to execute their warrants: "dynamically," with guns drawn and lots of confusion, or quietly, surveilling the scene and waiting until the risk is minimized. I'll grant that some situations truly do require dramatic action, but they're few and far between. Hostage scenarios justify it; finding plant matter doesn't. If they want to play commando over something that wouldn't be a capital offense and doesn't already have an innocent life in immediate jeopardy, I don't have any trouble charging them with a crime when their unnecessary actions result in death.
