Yes, that’s why I’m focusing on the word “accessory”. Don’t move the goal posts.

  I haven't. This whole conversation has been about whether or not the other officers present should be arrested and charged as accessories to murder. I said it wasn't clear.

    You tried to change the standard to “all the officers didn’t kneel on his neck”, I just called you out on it. I do believe they should be arrested for accessory and face a trial by jury. It’s your right to think to the contrary, but your rationalizations about why they were willing to stand by and watch something that has deeply shocked the conscious of the whole nation is both disturbing and unconvincing.

      "all the officers didn't kneel on his neck" doesn't "change the standard" whatever that means. It's well within what was being discussed. Anyway, I don't know why they were willing to do that. I'm not them. I don't know what they knew. That's the point. My OP was disputing the assertion that they knowingly stood there with the intent to allow their colleague to kill him and should be arrested on that basis, because it isn't clear.

        “I don’t know why they were willing to do that”. That’s why we have trials by jury, to determine guilt even though we can’t read minds.
