    I will regardless of your advice.

    You're flailing. Go ahead and address the points if you can, you seem pretty confident.

    Answer the question. If your father or brother or whoever was as a cop and died trying to apprehend an armed shooter would you have the same stance "tacking on charges is bull$#@!"?

    No insults here, just answer the question.
    I'd go to her brother's funeral and say "Ya' shoulda' been smarter, dude. That was a damn train you should have dodged."

    I'm confident that the train didn't jump tracks and run the cops down.

    It's insulting to believe a member of my family would be caught dead dying this way.
    You are wrong about police.

    I get what you're saying, but where are the lines of accountability being crossed with risks of the job? How about charging someone with an officer's heart attack because he exerted himself a little too much?
