You assume that I know.

So she could actually have been storming the apartment of a known drug dealer.

No amount of training with a taser can allow one to view the future and know how many people you'll need to deal with when the door opens.


Same place your one was, somewhere in the thread.

There wasn't any army beyond that door. If anything it was a father and son.

That's one person more than can be subdued with a taser.

Well why else would you say that it wasn't likely he was a known drug dealer?

The female officer should be locked up in a prison for life.

Police officers should be penalised more heavily when they break a law and should be fired if they break a serious law (like how lawyers and judges are disbarred for committing crimes) because it is these same people who are suppose to uphold the law and yet they break the law themselves.

So if the Officer was going to do something about a probation, why the hell did they have a gun drawn when they went in? What kind of training do they give the police over there? Police officers over here in the UK don't have guns and they still go into houses (I'm not saying more gun control) so I don't know why this retard did.

Im honestly really sad now.

I feel that the officer should be put on trial. I honestly think that the murderer should be executed.

Im no longer in my happy mood.

How to use their guns to shoot people who are posing a threat to the officers themselves, to their colleagues, or to someone else. Or something along those lines, I imagine.
Police officers over here in the UK don't have guns and they still go into houses (I'm not saying more gun control) so I don't know why this retard did.

Killing people isn't a crime. There are crimes that involve killing people, yes; but merely because Set B is a subset of Set A does not mean all A is B.

1.You're acting as if you're siding with the officer.
2. Im not going to like you.

1. From what I can tell, Ifreann is arguing that the officer might not be guilty. That's pretty reasonable, I would say. Especially because of the whole "innocent until proven guilty" thing.
2. Honestly, I don't think Ifreann will care.

@Ifreann I don't see how that's relevant; maybe you should just see my big mega-post that Starvation is Fun complained about; I meant the investigation results; why not; that wasn't serious -_-; and yet it doesn't matter because the kid's still dead; if he hasn't released all info to the public, he isn't exactly worthy of more attention than anyone else; it was a WiiM- actually, let's not start this again; and I meant protocol, not the situation.

@Gravlen Not sporadic, it's actually quite widespread; it may be speculation, but it's still backed up by evidence; in certain circumstances, yes; that's all well and good, and I await investigation results as much as you, I'm just saying that for the most part the evidence points in that direction; that's fine as well, have fun waiting for your investigation results; actually, I'm not wrong, I'm just speculating and could be right :P; perhaps you'd like to not take take things out of context, as I merely said she's responsible for someone's death, and that's a fact; also what's most likely; which is(?); I don't see why not, unless your saying she was paralyzed from the waist down; some vs most; reasonable; this one I'll concede; from what we know, yes; and yet they're the only picture; yeah, it's either most or few; so the cop broke down for no reason, I suppose; yeah, because eyewitnesses aren't reliable; already posted; source; I hope that's not true; and i suppose you haven't; oh no, no need to worry for me; except they're all we have; yes we do; no, but we can follow up on the possibilities that are more likely; I won't pretend to be an expert, but I'd generally expect that avoiding being shot takes precedence to shooting; yes, because she's very incapable of getting wrappings or something to stop the flow of blood; which has been established; already posted; reasonably doing so; I guess real-world experience is meaningless in solving these matters; nothing that's been released; already posted.

But there was no threat, it would be more understandable if she drew the gun when he opened the door, but she had the gun drawn before she went in, unless its a raid I don't think (I'm not too familiar with Police training) you should have a gun drawn.

According to witness statements it was homicide. In courts of law witnesses are believed unless there is evidence to refute them or they are proven to be unreliable.

IT should be noted that depending on the context of the warrant(s) being served, a perceived threat that would require a gun being drawn could exist. We do know they had warrants they were attempting to execute against the boys father and one other person. The context of those warrants other than the one relating the father who was on probation is unknown at this point.

Those are not official statements. They are alleged quotes from witnesses. Additionally at least one other piece of information being supplied is fraudulent (the ROTC claim) so it causes me to doubt the reliability of the article or its sources.
