Gossett was hit once in the head by a .45-caliber bullet fired from white Millington police officer Peter Nichelson's issue Glock 21 as the officer "ran up and paused for a second and shot [him] Gossett." Gossett was black.
Since Nichelson was not charged nor convicted for an intentional murder, violation of the suspected auto thief's civil rights, or any associated *hate crime,* but was instead convicted of criminally negligent homicide, it appears that his misuse of that pistol was the negligent act. See Rule 4.
Nevertheless, police investigators, deputy prosecutors and juries hereabouts view the Glock as the choice of local drug dealers, bikers and negligent cops, as the local city PD folks carry S&W autopistols, and that perception weighs on the carry and use of Glocks by the rest of us. Of course, some local feds use the .40 Glock as well.
