Raja was a LEO, it was official.
The standards that the grand jury would have to consider for an indictment , is has a higher lever of evidence standards, that that of a civilian. The SA knows the GJ won't bite, but allowed a third party to take the political hit
either take the forced cameras, and be happy, or focus on the culprits. Consider Raja, mentally handicapped, because I'm afraid its true.
He was not trained, and had absolutely no training, or much time in practical background, Re: "basic approaches, and procedural understanding. He created the exact problem, he then neutralized. The body cams, would not have prevented the shoot.
The City Manager and Chief, could have, and should have. Instead, all eyes are focused on the quadriplegic, who could not do the 100 yard dash, in under 10. And the body cams, that are only good for the future "replays", of future stupidity.

Yes, there was negligence, endangerment, omissions, oversight, and incompetence.
Raja isn't a cop anymore. PBG dumped him. He was not acting within the capacity of law enforcement that night. He was on private detail at the hotel down the street. When he approached Jones, he had no badge and no radio. He was dressed in street clothes. He was in his own vehicle. Jones was breaking no laws. He was on the phone with roadside assistance. There's an audio recording of the encounter between the two.
Raja's actions meet the elements of manslaughter. It all depends on how the case is presented. A civil case puts a lot of heat on local prosecutors. They can't be one upped on a case where the guys own department isn't even going to go to bat for him. I think he's screwed and they'll get him on manslaughter But anything can happen.
