Maybe a mod could cut and paste

"In the case of a felony, there would be probably a different handling of it," he said. "The things he's charged with are misdemeanors. Not to diminish the seriousness of it - it appears these allegations, if true, [constitute] a very, very serious situation that could have resulted in somebody getting hurt. Fortunately, that didn't happen."

That seems to be a glaring double standard, because I am fairly certain that if a non-LEO person fired five or ten shotgun slugs at a neighbor's house, while drunk, they would be charged with more than a misdemeanor.
