that's my hypothesis too, I'm guessing that when the other officer fired his taser she flinched and squeezed the trigger.

First degree though? A jury will never convict. More likely second or third.

Was just saying to my friend the same thing...
When they charge these trigger happy cops with first degree manslaughter or murder they'll never get a conviction.
Which will lead to more protests and riots.
It's a viscous circle.

I'm not defending her actions but why, just why, can't people just listen to what the cops are telling them to do?? If you do not cooperate with them then yes I feel you are putting the cops life possibly at risk too. How are they supposed to know that you are not armed or are looking to kill a cop.
