not necessarily, depends on circumstance and the degree of negligence

Thanks.
From a distance.
How was he negligent?
Yes! I completely agree.
Lets say he thinks his buddy is a deer and shoots him. In his haste to get a shot off he wasn’t paying attention. Which imo is no different than what the officer did, not paying attention to what she was doing. She was in no danger, he was fleeing, not coming toward her, if he was, that might be more excusable.
Again, cops are allowed to shoot fleeing violent felons in some circumstances.
Reasonableness.
The hypothetical reasonable person.
Stop.
It seems the jury may be hung right now. Did her tears nullify the jury?

Ok, that’s enough. Back on topic.
Well then… here I thought she was a rookie. lol
What if she had not had a tazer & only the gun? Would she have been lawful to shoot it?
IMO, if so, I’d say innocent. A lawsuit maybe, but no criminal conviction.

Perhaps not issuing police with tazers the feel like and operate the same way as guns. Under pressure in an emergency, a tazer trigger and a gun trigger feel the same.
