          Police are held to a higher standard than general population, that’s what justifies their increased power. They should all 100% of the time know where their gun is. No defense here.

          They are. But mistakes still happen. Especially in the heat of the moment when someone is fighting with the cops and resisting arrest. Which is why it’s best to not do those things.

          True he caused the incident, but she shot a gun thinking it was a taser. Police are supposed to be prepared for suspects escalating incidents.

          Of course he did. He pulled the gun out of the officer's holster and shot himself. Is that what you happened?

          It seems sick to me for the defense to blame the situation on someone who is dead and can't defend themselves.
