I am willing to bet everything I have that there is not 1 member of this police force who is not totally upset about what has happened here, and want to know why this happened and how this could have happened.
You can all pile on with your juvenile ad hominem attacks and call me a cop sucker et cetera, but you only expose your ignorance.
While there is obvious culpability on part of the police department with this citizen training exercise, whose feet does it actually lay at exactly, and where did the breakdown occur in protocol and safety? I want answers, because I never want to ever see another occurrence like this to be repeated.
Pile on???
Stupidity is stupidity.
>>Liberals shoot from the hip, while conservatives look for facts. While it is obvious that this was not a life or death situation for a police since it was a citizen training “exercise”, it is also a very tragic accident. You all seem to act like this was a planned execution of this 73 year old woman.
No one is calling this an execution. Who’s acting like a liberal here? FACT: a loaded gun was present during an exercise where guns would be pointed at innocent people. FACT: an innocent person died and there was no need to shoot anyone. FACT: the cops present were the “experts” at training in firearms at that event.
The fact that some cop may or may not be “totally upset” with his negligent homicide is irrelevant. This was criminal negligence and the cop who pulled the trigger needs to spend time in jail for manslaughter.
Thanks for the gratuitous insult, and no, those of us who feel that way are not “ignorant”.
I know you said you don’t care if we “call you a copsucker”, so let me be the first. We are well aware it was not a “planned execution”, but some mistakes deserve swift, severe punishment.
Cops, thugs, pigs, badge heavy goons, trigger happy bozos, SWAT team a##wipes, choose one, have used up ALL their good will. Gargoyle glasses, skin-head haircuts, black, bloused combat pants, combat boots, Batman utility belts with 6 spare mags, And Mace, And taser, black body armor, (With yellow SWAT tag.), black leather gloves, 'roided to the max, using their "command" voice on some 90 years old lady who didn't signal, do NOT make for a good impression. The police had better become aware of the optics.
There isn't a driver in CONUS that doesn't have the $200 license plate bulb ticket story. We don't care anymore if cops get home tonight. There is an entirely innocent housewife who didn't get home because of some sh!thead f#ckwad with a gun and a badge. There are "X" number of times that TV libs can glorify LEOs, before the BS factor gets too overwhelming.
After flash bangs in baby cribs, dead Pomeranians, shot dead vets, shot dead grandmothers, no-knock raids at the wrong address, and the ultimate insult, "Admin leave, with pay"? Are they, and apparently, you, so tone deaf?
Just because racist, socialist morons like BLM take shots at cops DOES NOT justify total hugs and love for the Sheriff of Nottingham's men. You do NOT have a no-limit hunting license. Getting butt-hurt when you are called on it does not help your case. It might hurt to have a few of your bro's in blue hung out for a public lynching, for some spectacularly criminal goof, like this one. Until you can prove that all of you can be trusted with anything more than a Nerf gun, he shouldn't be allowed to have a gun at all. (That's a hint, about a felony conviction...)
