The point about the law, as was already posted, it's not the opinion of the officer that is determinant.
I am not disregarding the law at all, just indicating your opinion of it is not actually the arbiter of anything, and it is still your opinion
What you think doesn't matter in accordance with the law.
You are probably not a judge, probably aren't sitting on a grand jury, probably don't represent the court, and may not be another officer.
All those are requirements of the law you are referring to.
Hate to break it to you, but you just aren't that important, and even if you are a lawyer, save it for the courtroom.
Or continue to argue your opinion like it means something when it doesn't.
You could also discuss why you think it was a tragedy, and express how regrettable the entire event was, but that still won't make you the arbiter of the law.
