They could have indicted on felony reckless endangerment and grand juries can also return misdemeanor indictments if they want, it's just that you don't put together a grand jury for the express purpose of only misdemeanors.
The prosecutor could have absolutely presented those lesser offenses if he wanted to. He chose not to. It's hard to think of any answer as to why not.
No it's not. It should have been an independent prosecutor because it sure looks like he didn't want to indict a cop.
