Worst part is I went "Oh yeah, I saw this story yesterday" and then realized that no, that was about a Texas jail, this is Ohio...

Ohio aspires to be the Texas of the north
It's gotta fight Idaho first, though
Who will dominate—Lesser Idaho or Lesser Ohio?
Cops murder civilians all the time.
They claim they are “scared for their lives”
Maybe we should make sure they’re not lying.
I like this way of thinking. If they're going to treat me as a violent threat, I might as well be one.
The hoops that the press will jump through to avoid saying the police killed a man or prison guards are accessories to murder is mind boggling.
"Man shot in police altercation during traffic stop sustained critical injuries and dies in the hospital"
Vs.
"Police killed a man during a traffic stop"
While it is easy to connect some dots and draw an opinion, without due process all are innocent until proven guilty. Free Speech is not free of conquences and what seems like a logical conclusion today is not a guarantee at the end of the trial. There is no oopsiedaisy exception in libel law.
Fair.
But when an officer discharges their weapon it's in the police report, which is publicly available.
If no other weapons are involved and someone is shot then it's a fact that they shot whoever was hit by a their bullet.
Whether they are guilty of homicide is a decision for the court. Whether they killed someone is a matter of fact.
It's mostly a liability thing. Mostly.
I once saw a guys breathing rate shoot to 36 while in ambulatories after about a week in the chair. Don't get me wrong he needed that amount of restraint he was so manic he was screaming incomprehensibly and trying to ram his head into walls so hard it shook the unit 24/7 despite getting sedatives that should have taken down a horse but the entire night shift staff had been telling dayshift he needed a chest xray for almost that entire time (standalone psych hospital, radiology wasn't there overnight). Every once in a while his breathing just sounded... chunky. We didn't like it but the lead psychiatrist dgaf.
Anyway he lived without any long term complications but only because we caught it the second it happened and we got him on oxygen and airlifted to the university right away (this was up in the mountains). And I shit you not afterwards a coworker said they still thought he was exaggerating like the University would have admitted an extremely violent psych patient to ICU without radiologic confirmation. Somebody said something similar about a patient who stroked out on me and that personally I watched them give tpa to right there on the CT table after confirmation of ischemia when I briefly worked a COVID psych unit.
And this was psych where people at least slightly care about the patients. I get so many correctional offers (that first one was actually a forensic psych unit) and I love love LOVE that patient population but I could barely handle how the psych unit treated those people I don't think I could handle corrections. Even just that one guy my hair almost started falling out watching him breathe for a week straight. I was still a technician at the time so I was just there sitting 1:1 with him for hours at a time retaking his respiratory rate every 15 minutes and also every time it sounded chunky again and again and again (when you do care, they burn you out).
