Yes it is. Unless he did it on purpose. Why are you putting a higher bar on municipal cops when friendly fire in our military is a common occurrence?
If it isn't "$#@! happens" do you think he should go to jail for the rest of his life? Do you think he did it on purpose? If he didn't do it on purpose should he still go to jail? Should teachers go to jail if their students fall off the jungle gym and get hurt?
Please...

"Typically"? You and I are both vets. Both Army. Both of us know the stories of individuals at the range wacking out the guy next to him by accident. No bad guys around.
Also why don't you consider this a "fluid combat situation"? Guns drawn given an expectation of a potential suspect who is thought to be armed and dangerous constitutes a "fluid combat situation" in municipal police terms.
This was an accident. Accidents happen. Is that a more acceptable term than "$#@! happens"?

By definition in the shooting world there is no such thing as an accident. You and I both know it's called a negligent discharge. Right the guy had a negligent discharge. $#@! happens. I don't think he did it on purpose and they are in a job that this kind of accident happens. They train for it as does our military but $#@! happens bro.
The cop who accidentally shot her shouldn't lose his life over it. It was an accident. The position calls for a moniker of danger where this kind of $#@! might happen.
Something tells me if you ask the cop that got shot whether or not the cop who shot her should lose his life as a result she would say no.

I didn't say he should lose his life. He needs more training.
