A bad habit they picked up from cats. Might be an irritation if frequent hailstorms didn't do the dent thing so thoroughly that the goats were welcome to climb on my truck to their hearts' content.

Once again, it seems to me that the prosecutors might have overcharged. If you only give the finder of fact (judge or jury) a "murder" count, they're never going to find a cop guilty when he's in the 'scope and course' of his employment. A "murder" charge involves "intent". That will never happen in these scenarios. So, prosecutors need to charge things like 'negligent homicide' or...if they charge the cop with murder, they need to allow the lesser-included count of manslaughter, for example, to be considered by the judge or jury. I wish that a murder charge would stick with one of these assholes. But legally, it's not going to happen. And prosecutors need to charge appropriately so they can get some convictions against these cops.
