On the one hand, cops shouldn’t get to kill unlawfully and say “I was doing my job.”

On the other hand, if an Amazon engineer checks in a bug and AWS goes down and a hospital loses its medical records and people die, we hold Amazon liable, not the engineer.

Well yeah there is a difference between killing another human being in the first person vs indirectly through corporate processes.

No one should be depending on an internet connection or external server to keep people alive and there is no way amazon would somehow be responsible for a nonsense design like this, if it ever did happen.

What should it tell you about the two systems if the former continues to happen often with no real improvements while the latter happens rarely if ever and is immediately rectified?
