I’m thinking something went horribly wrong, or some officers don’t know what a ‘welfare check’ is. lol.
“Dispatch, doesn’t look good, I think we’re going to need the coroner.”
“Are you sure? Make sure she’s dead first.”
*BANG*
“Yep, she’s dead.”
Too few details (including if she actually had a weapon) to form and opinion, though at first glance, I can not understand why it was necessary for Jack-Booted THUGS (my new name for 95%$ of SWAT Teams) to go in and escalate the situation.
Kind of a drastic way to reduce the welfare rolls.
Described as an incident.
More like too many people trying to “help” someone, and not backing off, allowing themselves to be manipulated into having to protect themselves ostensibly. Watcha gonna do, when they come for you.
LOL!
I heard the “hunters” version.
Still funny.
To justify their budgets for having them around. That’s why!
Not to worry. She’ll still be able to vote...multiple times.
“We were trying to help her out, and get her the help she needed.”
Hmmm...from Kansas maybe she was threatening to release Obambi’s BC. Afterall Aunt Zuni is living on our dime in Beantown.
These sort of police calls are not uncommon. However, police are conditioned to be of a “predatory” nature in confrontations, in which they won’t back down, even when that would have a better outcome.
So one alternative is using what could be called “counter barricades”, which would be to put bullet resistant panels in front of doors and windows. The idea is to prevent whoever is inside from easily shooting outside. Once such shields are erected, then the police can just back away to let things cool down.
In other words, "I don't know the details of the situation, but it's clear the police acted stupidly when there was proof the woman was in her own home." Sounds familiar.
All officers on all calls to people’s homes should be required to take dogs with them so that they will be able to exercise their union contract rights to shoot someone without having to kill a human being. Police departments should have a regular arrangement with Animal Control. All citizens who are able to should keep at least one dog in the home for the same reason.It is better for beloved Rover to take a bullet than Aunt Claire.
I have postulated for years that police coming to a private citizens door should do so unarmed and in suits, not uniform.
Some might consider this dangerous for the police, but that is what they get payed for, not offing helpless citizens.
“I’m here from the governement ,to help”. bang!
These cops were called to this place for a reason. My guess is that the woman was violent, and possibly suicidal.
Was she was hiding Elián González ?
You have been infected.
