This is disgusting! The article doesn't say how tall, and how heavy Mr. Moore was, but it appears that he could've been more than these two average to smaller sized officers could easily subdue once he became combative. From just the two photos included, it appears Mr. Moore was OK with any damage he could do to these two officers, and they were justified to be seriously concerned for their safety and even their lives.
Unlike the standard procedure most people have read about former SFPD Chief suhr "We don't teach officers to shoot to kill, but we teach them to shoot to not miss." Officer Cha apparently didn't want to shoot, and specifically didn't want to kill Mr. Moore, otherwise he most certainly would have not missed.
Regardless of the Section 194 technicality, officer Cha clearly did not intend to cripple or kill Mr. Moore. The ME's report included findings that would have arguably cleared officer Cha which were withheld in the charging documents/warrant. That should require strong court sanctions against all of those responsible for threatening an innocent police officer's reputation, job, and future career prospects.
If this was a TV program, each episode would be resolved according to facts and law within only 30 minutes, but instead of that, this is a real life horror show subjecting this officer to guilty until proven innocent over a five year period. Stress? What stress?
Can't the state attorney General step in to straighten this mess out? Maybe, but what if he's one of the anti-police sympathizers as well?
