I agree that the cop committed homicide by negligence rather than premeditated, but I will never understand why people sometimes make the argument that words are so powerless, when they're our species's primary form of communicating information. Anything anybody has ever done has ultimately been a reaction to information. "Nobody reasonably expects a verbal accusation will kill anyone" is just a blatantly wrong claim.
