I actually find the Fairfax case more disturbing (well, partly because I work in Farifax County). The guy was un-armed, apparently was doing some gambling action, but no weapons. So they send an amped up SWAT team to collect him. While there, a .45 that just happened to be poippnting at this optomertrist's chest "accidently" went off.
The guy was compliant and followed all police directives during the raid.
The ruling? Accidental, and the DA has said repeatedly he will not pursue a case he feels he can't win.
