...legal and ethical.

Seems to be done to with the attitude of "give them something" to stop them from complaining (and protesting).

Bullshit. Total bullshit,

they’re still operating on the assumption that unrest will somehow help Trump, even though polling since June simply hasn’t born that out.

First-Degree Wanton Endangerment: “A person is guilty of wanton endangerment in the first degree when, under circumstances manifesting extreme indifference to the value of human life, he wantonly engages in conduct which creates a substantial danger of death or serious physical injury to another person” (KRS 508.060). First-degree wanton endangerment is a Class D felony, punishable with fines of up to $10,000 and up to five years in prison.

The "wanton endangerment" charge was apparently for shooting into neighboring apartments.

Was it any of these POs?

That seems like the fateful decision - and entirely, tragically unnecessary.

towards the neighbors. And that’s what the cop was fired. The grand jury didn’t address the fact that it was a bad warrant because it wasn’t the focus, or even included in the evidence presented to the grand jury.

I don't know exactly how to feel. I guess I'll reiterate what I said earlier, that I hope protesters are absolutely peaceful and absolutely unrelenting in getting their message out.
