[QUOTE="DFarcher, post: 2253172, member: 29504"] This is true enough...LEOs and Military personnel are put in situations by the thousands where a error in judgement can have horrible/tragic consequences. While legitimate mistakes should not be treated as criminal acts they also should not be dismissed. The truth is we are all different and some just are not equipped to make a good decision in a high stress situation. Individuals who show they fold under pressure should not be put in situations where they may have to make those types of decisions. I am aware if situations where we had to reassign personnel for the safety of "non-combatants" and even those the person in question served with. Not because they were not trying to do what was right, as I said some can't handle the stress. I believe those of you who think LEOs who make catastrophic errors like the one being discussed in this thread should be treated as criminals are wrong. But its also very disturbing to me that law enforcement agencies seem to want to clear their officers and put them right back out there EVERY time one of these events transpires. Part of the problem is if an agency admits ANY wrong doing, for example by permanently reassigning an officer they would not have a chance in the litigation that would be sure to follow. [/QUOTE]
