A Thirty-Five Year Prison Sentence for Spitting at a Police Officer: The Danger of Basing Justice on Mistaken Assumptions
Last month, Willie Campbell was sentenced to 35 years’ imprisonment for spitting at Dallas police officer Dan Waller. The sentence was based in part on a jury finding that that because Campbell was HIV-positive, his spit qualified as a deadly weapon. As a result of the finding, Campbell will have to serve at least half his sentence before he is eligible for parole. The sentence is troubling, because it rests on fact-finding at odds with scientific evidence regarding the transmission of HIV.
Spitting at a police officer is a Felony in many states for this very reason.

It is "typical" for a Negro to be in "involved" in a crime involving aggression.
If this victim in the video was not "involved", then he would still be alive today. So the reason he got shot? Because he was "involved", which is typical for a Negro statistically, and physiologically.

Preposterous, HIV cannot be transmitted by spitting at someone.

NO IT ISN'T JUSTIFIED!
It was an accident.
HIV is not the only thing that can be transmitted through saliva, How about Hepatitis B or C, and many other very nasty diseases that you don't want simply for doing your job.

I already covered this above somewhere, but to charge an officer with manslaughter you have to show that they did something intentionally negligent. Like if the guy modified his weapon, or was in the habit of handling it unsafely. Police are given a large amount of leeway in making mistakes, even when it costs someone their life. As I have already stated above though, it will most likely end his career as a police officer.
Also if you read my other posts, you will see that one of the other reasons I truly feel that he did not intend to use his firearm is because of the proximity to other officers who were struggling with the victim.
An officer is not going to discharge his weapon when the person could easily pull one of his fellow officers into the line of fire at the last second, or where the shot could ricochet off the floor and strike another officer.
As to your remark about the other case, I guess I just don't get it.
