RE: But that doesn't get her a hug and a free pass

Far as I know she did not "pretend to mistakenly kill" or did she "Killing someone mistaking on-purpose".

If she shot the kid with the firearm on purpose and is now lying to cover it up surely a murder charge and jail time is appropriate even if she wrongfully believed she was following procedure.

And to clarify, if she is convicted of manslaughter or negligent homicide or aggravated assault and did no time I wouldn't feel the law failed. That said if she was sentence up to 2 or 3 years it would be reasonable to me too.

As to someone's pension I have a hard time, regardless of the offense, see it as something that should be taken away regardless of the offense. Of course if the officer could be sued civilly and a judgement ordered then ok but I believe police officers have immunity from civil action.

Someone who lost a family member because someone ran a red light or failed to stop at a crosswalk is analogous Would there be a big public outcry if some hockey mom didn't end up doing time? Unless the person was drunk, had a history of bad behavior, or could be demonized with photos by the media (tattoos, looks like a junky or gang banger) the offending driver would probably do 0 jail time too.

The difference between this case and a bad driver case is the City will probably pay a big civil judgement something the vast majority of victims of grossly incompetent whatevers ever get.

This is a little OT but police officers are trained on how to respond after they kill people in order to avoid being charged. Most citizens could be trained to respond similarly, and in fact many who kill do know the routine and what to say after murdering someone. They walk just like the police do. If we had a required class in HS on how to avoid being charged after killing someone the prosecution rate on the normal citizens who kill would begin to approach that of law enforcement.
