This “officer” has primary responsibility for killing the kid. The post is a bit thin on “facts”, such as why the cops knocked on this particular door. Was she expecting trouble?
The public had better wise up and force the resignation(s) of whoever was in charge of hiring, “training” and controlling her, and change the doctrine that the public is expendable. Are officers getting the message: “All life forms are a threat to your existence. When in doubt, kill everything — dogs, kids, texting theatergoers, whatever. Brother officers and police union lawyers will clean up later.”?
Being a police officer is difficult, but where does this cop get the idea that she should automatically shoot any citizen that answers the door armed? Home invasion robberies do happen, in some places more than others. It is not unreasonable and definitely not illegal to bear arms when you go to the door.
If the copette was expecting trouble she would not have been alone.
The article said the visit was a probation related inquiry.
