I actually think he probably would be hard to charge with a murder for a variety of reasons that aren't interesting.
But I think anyone, whether it's you or me or anyone listening, can have the sort of internal explanation of, okay, maybe he shouldn't be criminally charged, but he didn't have to kill her.
I mean, I feel like we're all qualified to make that judgment.
Does that make sense?
I completely agree with 90% of what you said there.
I do think the other reason he's not going to be charged is because it's not even being investigated.

I do think a lot of these videos we see look like that.
Why do you think that happens?
Why do you think we have this situation where it's almost like a cartoon version of authority?
