BBC on overuse of SWAT

The Fairfax County Commonwealth's Attorney Robert Horan will not press charges. The cop was guilty of at least common law involuntary manslaughter under Virginia law. Homicide + Reckless Handling of a Firearm or Brandishing = involuntary manslaughter. Robert Horan is gaining a reputation for supporting cops that criminally kill civilians.

"Bernard DiMuro, the Culosi family's attorney, said: "A pointed gun with a finger on the trigger is not an accident. There is no doubt that had the shooter not been a police officer, he would have been charged criminally, and a jury would have decided the issue." He said Horan could have charged the officer with second-degree murder or manslaughter.
