I don't see how this was "intentional homicide". Who can say what his intent was? At the high end he was hoping for a homicide, but at the low end where cops don't shoot unarmed people for touching their pants, maybe a bit of inconvenience.

Shooting someone yourself is intentional homicide.

Really it's ridiculous to me that some people are blaming someone else for an incompetent trigger-happy cop.

Throwing out my own analogy, it's like someone prank calling a hospital to tell them they have cancer, then a doctor killing them with chemo without doing any tests to verify they actually have it.

At some point you have to hold trusted professionals responsible for actually doing their jobs properly.
