that wasn't the question and that's not what I'm implying. he was tried for doing his job and they framed it as if he killed the guy through negligence (yet somehow went ahead and convicted him of murder, outrageously enough).

the question was - do people [who work in law enforcement] get serious prison time for [supposedly] being incompetent? and the answer as of 2022 is a resounding yes - if it is politically expedient.

and just for the record: of course I support his actions.
