Charges dropped against Philadelphia officer who fatally shot Eddie Irizarry at traffic stop

I hope any person who has to go to trial and this officer is called as a witness uses this as an example as to why they arent a good witness.

"Officer, in 2023 you fatally shot a man after you said he got out of his car and lunged at you with a knife. You later backtracked on this and said he was in his car with the windows up. How can we trust what you have to say if you can't remember what happened then?"

California won't prosecute LAPD officer who shot teenage girl in store's dressing room

Ah yes. The classic "We investigated ourselves and found we did nothing wrong defence."

Things like these need to be held by an independent team and no info given about those involved, e.g. the shooter was a police officer. Some people keep saying the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. The fact the shooter was an officer should have no bearing on the outcome then.

Also, getting an independent team means new jobs for people. Get better results and be a job creator.
