In principle, I agree with your comment, but there is a significant difference in the contributory factor and in your responsibility and duty of care when your job is to participate in the direction of threats, imprisonment and violence towards individuals.

Whether we're comfortable calling it as such or not, this should be considered a culpable murder. Suicide is the reasonably foreseeable outcome of being capriciously targeted by the overwhelming violence of the government. I am so sorry for the loss. Aaron was clearly a hugely valuable human being.

Using a throwaway in effort to avoid being arbitrarily harassed, but: of course not, almost as a matter of course, the state does not bring justice against itself, especially when you can defer or abstract away the fundamentals as "law enforcement" or "investigations."

A reminder that even with the wave of media attention, approximately zero of the cops involved in the recent unambiguous murder of black people have been brought to justice.
