>>If you were a trained cop, and had been shot by a 92 year old woman, would you want your name released?<<

No. Its been interesting to listen to the police spokesman - they have stopped referring to her by name and are just calling her "the perpetrator."


One thing I'd hate to get lost in my post is the hope for a full recovery by the officers and respect for a terribly, terribly difficult job.

They got assigned to go into this house - the door was fortified, they had trouble getting in and got shot at. Then they killed an apparently innocent person. I feel for them. I pray for them.

Security doors aren't at all uncommon. My house was burgled about ten years ago by the perp kicking in the front door. A security door's been there ever since. No more burglaries.

This is a terribly sad situation all around and will require a full, impartial investigation.

I wonder what would happen if the plainclothes cops broke into a home on a tip, were all gunned down DEAD by the owner who had a permit for his weapon and no drugs were found.

Think a good attorney could get the guy off.

I hope for a full recovery so they can stand trial for negligent homicide.

Plain clothes??? For a dynamic entry??? In a rough neighborhood??? ARE .. YOU .. KIDDING .. ME???

The woman in this case is not the "perpetrator," she is the victim.
