Patterson deserves it.

Guess they'll go after VEGAS PD officers, and thousands,of others for not engaging until the shooting was over or they had army present.

Mostly after the shooting stopped.

I see your point, but I’d be hesitant to endorse it unless I saw exactly what “rhetoric” of your adversaries you’re trying to stick them to.
True, if someone really says that police officers are just like soldiers, one can suggest that they should be bound by military justice. But if they simply say that police officers are there to protect civilians, and should be given various immunities because of that, that’s consistent with the duty described in subsection 2 of the post: A duty that sometimes makes police officers criminally punishable for failing to help strangers (unlike the rest of us, who generally aren’t thus punishable), but not when the help would involve grave risk to their own lives. By way of analogy, someone who sings paeans to parental love, and who wants parents to have substantial legal rights, isn’t necessarily bound to conclude that parents should be criminally punished for failing to risk their lives.

Decoy...false flag op...this is likely to take the spot light off the sheriff...the one who should be kept under the microscope, as should the rest of them in that SO.

Justices Rule Police Do Not Have a Constitutional Duty to Protect Someone (Published 2005)

Supreme Court rules that police do not have constitutional duty to protect person from harm, even woman who obtained court-issued protective order against violent husband which made arrest mandatory for violation; decision overturns ruling by federal appeals court in Colorado; it had permitted...

SUPREME COURT RULING: Police Have No Duty To Protect The General Public
...police have no duty to protect me, or you. Based on the headline of this article you might think this is an important new ruling, but it’s not. The court has kept this stance for over 30 years.

The Supreme Court has repeatedly ruled that police officers at all levels of the government have no duty to protect the citizens of this country. It is the job of police officers to investigate crimes and arrest criminals.

http://gunssavelives.net/blog/supreme-court-ruling-police-have-no-duty-to-protect-the-general-public/

In cases such as DeShaney v. Winnebago County (1989) and Castle Rock v. Gonzales (2005), the Supreme Court has declined to put police and other public authorities under any general duty to protect individuals from crime. The decisions have been broadly unpopular, but Mike McDaniel at PJ Media takes the Court’s side on policy grounds: “This [lack of a particularized duty] might seem absolutely outrageous, but it is logical, rational, and unquestionably necessary.”

Soooo how did they come to make QI protected retired RSO Peterson culpable for failing to response?

Done all the time . Cop gets butt in a bind he can't just be let off for.

Prosecutor then takes say a legitimate manslaughter charge and increases it to murder which there is no evidence to convict on.

Cop opts for a bench trial but even a jury won't convict the inflated charge.
No judge will.

Result. Cop walks , and gov unit involved gets to say they tried.

Peterson, might get a perjury conviction if that.
