A: Mom, did they say they're giving that lady money because they killed her husband?
Me: Well, it's a bit more complicated than that, but sort of, yes. The judge decided that the police officer shot the man when he could have done something else to stop him, that wouldn't have killed him, and so to help the man's family, the government will have to pay her the money.
A: I think the police officer should have to not do his job for a while. So he can think about it. Like a time out, for police.
