He had choices. Now he's dead and her life is ruined. No winners here.

Why anyone would want to be a police patrol officer in the US today is a mystery to me.

Err, I rather think the problem is the standard of policing in the US whereby an officer is so fucking stupid to mistake a handgun with a full load for a taser or, just as bad, an officer is so fucking stupid as to think anyone with a functioning brain will believe their stupid explanation that they did make such an error.
