The idea that you have to have wanted something to happen to face consequences for it happening is going to set a lot of folks free from prison though.

No, because the justice system balances the sentence based on intent. Homicide, 2nd degree murder, 1st degree murder, etc.

This is why drivers who run over pedestrians often get no jail time, while someone who plows into pedestrians on purpose goes to jail for a long time.

You could most certainly make a case that the officers could have been negligent, which caused someone to be killed.

Then why is your entire contribution to the thread a deflection of any suggestion of consequences?

Really? I do think there should be accountability and consequences.

What degree of consequences depends, I guess, on how much animosity one might have towards law enforcement. I don't think that's a very balanced way of looking at things.
