I know of departments where "Well, nobody got hurt!" has been used to paper over gross negligence with firearms. I have to wonder if something similar was at play here.

I am not a lawyer but it seems like this guy could easily sue the officer's Dept.

+1 for patrol rifles.

Can't imagine most cops taking that 7-10 yard shot with a handgun. Trivial with an AR.

Anyone figure out what the other officer was doing crouched down behind the white car?

Was he using iron sights?

Distracting the dirtbag?

The king line: "Oh, shit! Fuck!" In the linked article he says that recent range training caused him to accidentally let one go.

Skip the first 20 seconds of the video. The DA's office concluded that officer Patrick Feaster negligently discharged his weapon, but decided not to charge the officer with criminal negligence because the DA did not believe he had sufficient evidence to satisfy the burden of proof. The officer acknowledged that he had been trained not to put his finger on the trigger until he formed the intention to fire and stated he never intended to fire. Given: (1) the officer acknowledged his training not to put his finger on the trigger until he formed the intent to fire, (2) he never intended to fire; and (3) he put his finger on the trigger, I think the DA probably had all the evidence he needed to prosecute. I'm not saying the DA should have prosecuted, I just don't buy his explanation for why he didn't prosecute. More information here.

Update on this shooting. The victim ended up dying and the officer, who was fired, has been charged with manslaughter.

Officer who shot Zach Hammond may face federal charges, motion says.

On Thursday, Tiller's attorney filed a motion Thursday asking that his video deposition in connection to a lawsuit filed by Hammond’s parents, which is scheduled for next Wednesday, be postponed for 90 days.

The motion says: “Due to the open and active criminal investigation, requiring Mr. Tiller’s participation in his deposition for this matter will force him to confront the troubling prospect of either waiving his Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination, or repeatedly invoking this privilege to the detriment of his interest in the instant litigation …

“Mr. Tiller faces the prospect of profound criminal exposure as a result of the ongoing criminal investigation. As a result, the active investigation profoundly and detrimentally impacts Mr. Tiller’s ability to participate in his upcoming deposition …

“The likelihood of a forthcoming indictment is more than mere speculation, as the federal investigation remains active with criminal investigative activity having occurred within the last 10 days.”

Judge denied postponement.

If he testifies in a deposition, he would have to plead the Fifth Amendment repeatedly to avoid incriminating himself in the criminal case, which would be detrimental to his chances to defend himself in the civil case, his attorneys argued.
