no it's not. it's called procedure. like they said, he's on routine leave, during the investigation. just like any civillian shooting goes to a grand jury. Homicide, is still a crime. you may be justified in committing it, but you have to prove it.

Deadly Force (as defined by the state) has nothing to do with wound, kill, or fuzzy bunnies.
the officer shot the person who committing unlawful deadly force against him, to stop him. turns out, shooting the guy in the heart really stopped him. :mrgreen:

how come civil rights people are almost always on the wrong side of things?? least now a days. what about Officer Villanueva's civil rights??? he has a right to go home to his ol' lady and kids, don't he??
