[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 2734053, member: 1132"] Point of order, if he shot another officer instead of the subject, he still wouldn't face manslaughter charges. As for the "average citizen", they'd never face a situation of this type. Non LE never performs felony drug/gun buys and then attempt to take said felon onto custody. Each situation should be judged on it's own merits and these types of comparisons are rarely useful. Yep. It's still relevant regardless of the victim. If I were the one shot, I wouldn't want my fellow deputy sent to prison over it. Just because it's a gun and not a football or a race car, doesn't mean it's any less an accident on the job. That's another way to look at it, if a bit unorthodox. The dealer who got shot by the deputy was "on the job". He was there for a payday and it went South. A workplace accident by any other name... :anyone: [/QUOTE]
