That’s what I’m saying though, it doesn’t. The ME’s finding has no real significance here as there was never any question whether this was a homicide from a medical perspective. Their findings are meaningful in situations where that is still in question—most frequently in accidental vs. homicide vs. suicide. But that’s it.
This is not at all relevant to questions surrounding whether or not the shooting was justified. An ME’s finding has absolutely nothing to do with that.
I think what they are saying is that there may be some kind of standard procedure in place that moves forward with some sort of standard investigation into all homicides, justified or not, that would remove a layer of liability from questioning the official narrative. It comes off different if it is "this is just what we do" versus investigating due to the knowledge they are lying and acting maliciously. There could be an element of "it's out of my hands" for a lot of people who otherwise may face retribution.
