The empathy I was referring to was that the defense kept using the "what would a 'reasonable officer' do in that situation", and if any of the jurors have LEOs in their family, that argument might hold some sway.
I would suspect that any potential juror with an LEO "in their family" would have been rejected from being seated during voir dire.
You'd hope so, but you never know. It depends on what a juror is asked...
I am very confident that this question was part of the extensive questionnaire that was give to all potential jurors in this case.
