And as i said, the "officer" was a volunteer, not an actual full time police officer and he clearly fucked up and it does seem he shot him on accident (which makes it kinda worse than intentional, to me). But then again, facts have never stood in anyone's way on this forum.
Yes, of course there is less troubles for obeying, but there is neither death penalty for not obeying; well, US has all kinds of shit laws, but I don't think that there is death penalty for simply not obeying officer, and surely there is not in civilized countries (USA isn't one). And as I already said; the very starting point in police work is that many people don't obey, that thing shouldn't be very big news.

Volunteer or not, he acted on police duty.
