It's not the callers fault someone died. It's the ill-trained police jumping in throwing bullets around.
Why didn't the police just shoot everyone and anyone around him and just say... "well that kid shouldn't have pranked us, it's his fault"... same thing.

Both were wrong, don't take it the wrong way.

And what if it wasn't a prank, but they just got the address wrong - even when these things are real they require way more verification than an anonymous phone tip. Or the shooter sent out a hostage instead of coming out himself? Bottom line, the cop murdered a completely innocent guy based on nothing. Imagine if any other job operated like that.

Sadly nothing will come of this. The officer will go on paid leave until the press dies down and the PR will be spun to place the blame on the caller and not the cop that pulled the trigger.

Yup, and the poor family will be left without justice.

The kid should be charged with whatever it would be for pranking the police. Not anything to do with murder or causing death. The police should be.

I am of the opinion that both should be. One should be up for second degree murder, and the other for as an accomplace or something. Even as a prank, trying to get a cop to kill someone or accusing someone of a false crime should carry a penalty at least equal to the crime being falsely claimed. The pranker claimed murder and hostage taking, he should be tried at that level as a minimum, IMHO.

Oh, well that changes my view if the kids intent was for that to happen. Definitely an accomplice to murder like you said, then.

Who knows what the intent is, but a prank that accuses someone of murder is.... accusing someone of murder. That the intent is or isn't as a prank I don't see as relevant.
It's like "I shot him in the face... but it was just a prank." Yeah... but it is still shooting someone in the face.

Perhaps it's best both be charged with murder. One as second degree, one as third degree. Perhaps the kid with second, and police with third.

The cop should definitely get the worst of it. He is trained and responsible and trusted by the public to do the opposite of what he did. He didn't verify the call, didn't verify the situation, didn't verify the person, didn't verify the threat, and executed and innocent, unarmed, confused guy for no reason. Honestly, I think cops should be held to the highest degree of accountability given their training and that the public trusts them to not kill indisciminately. By putting on the badge, he accepts a level of responsibility that is far above that of the civilian population. There is zero excuse for his actions. The prankster needs to be accountable for his own actions - false accusations and insiting murder. But the cop chose to execute an innocent man all on his own.

Yeah makes the most sense. I'd rather see both with second degree, though, because it was done in Kansas.

California Dispensaries can legally sell recreational marijuana starting tomorrow. Good for California.
