Re: New reseach shows good guy with a gun wrong

I love how they choose the word "homicide". People conflate homicide with murder all the time, and therefore it is misleading without the article defining the word for the public. All murder is homicide, but not all homicide is murder. There is such a thing as "justifiable homicide", ie self defense.

LEOs are taught in the academy that when you are involved in a fatal shooting to not freak out when you hear the word "homicide" thrown around. It simply means one human terminating the life of another human, intent doesn't even play a factor. By definition, medical malpractice can be classified as homicide.
