Felt like punching my monitor when I saw that headline

Almost as bad as the police woman who parked on the wrong floor
Walked into the wrong house
and killed the guy in his own apartment

Manslaughter.. what?
Heard that the incoming DA changed it to Murder though..

This is going to be a confusing one for the jury. Their unquenchable thirst to absolve a cop of murder running up against their mindless desire to convict a cop killer. That's going to keep them up at night. They'll probably just convict him of Disturbing the peace for violation of a municipal sound ordinance, so their little heads don't explode from "Must Save Cop" syndrome.

Is Russian Roulette actually something that people play? Like why?!

The world comes into sharper focus. All your senses are on fire. Everything in life coheres for one brief glorious moment.

But outside of that, not much.

A guy I knew in high school played . . . and lost.

Let's just I wasn't surprised by the news.

Isn't it still murder even if there's only a 1/4 chance the gun fires? He still deliberately pointed a loaded weapon at another person and killed her and while on duty to boot.

Murder requires malice aforethought or premeditation. Russian Roulette is more akin to Drunk Driving. When the drunk driver get's behind the wheel, it isn't his express intent to kill someone, even though the possibility of causing a death is enhanced by his state of inebriation. Same holds true when playing Russian Roulette. It's not the intent to kill, even though the possibility of causing death is enhanced by the state of stupidity.

That said, this cops story is complete BS. Just like that weirdo in Dallas, he likely murdered her and then concocted this bizarre unbelievable story as cover since the sentence for manslaughter vs murder means spending less time in the Hershey Highway lane widening factory.

Not the real story. Like many have said way too fishy. Lots speculating she was going to dime our two dirty cops. More plausible than Russian roulette lol

Prosecutor says St. Louis police obstructed investigation into officer's alleged Russian roulette killing

The St. Louis circuit attorney's office has publicly criticized police, saying they obstructed an investigation into last week's fatal shooting of an officer and prematurely labeled it an accident.
