“I’m amazed he was only shot once.”

The fact that the victim was only shot once probably is due to this being an accidental shooting consequent to the following:
1. Poor training in that this Dickless Tracy had her gun out of holster.
2. Said Dickless Tracy had her finger inside the trigger guard and on the bang switch.
3. Target identification training was grossly inadequate.
4. Female police, AKA Dickless Tracys are prone to firearm use due to small size and inability to deal with a physical confrontation.

For the above reasons the pool widdle famle OfficerPerson probably didn’t intend to shoot her gun.

If she had, she was almost certainly trained to empty the magazine.

Convict her for manslaughter and see that she serves hard time in the prison general population, not some “Club Fed” country club prison.

The eral lesson to be learned from this needless tragedy is the danger to the public of female officers being allowed to play SWAT style “Armed & Dangerou” militarized cop.

I must point out that the name and race of the shooter was not released. Was this because she is black?

Could the Police Chief be withholding her name because of some personal reason?

What is the officer’s name? Shouldn’t that be reported as well?

Bingo. That was my first thought. Plus .. the controller doesn’t even look like a gun.

You won’t hear that from me. I’m no cop hater as many here are. But I don’t believe they have the right to kill anyone who isn’t posing a clear and imminent danger to them or to someone else.

Four of those targets are women. Two are children. All white. No men.

“why did they have to point out that the cop was a woman?....”

Maybe because women should not be cops...nor Marines...

In this case should be charged with Murder...

A guy (Michael Dunn) got convicted of attempted 2nd degree murder just the other day for shooting into a car full of black kids because he thought they pointed a shotgun at him.

Do you really believe this?

Dunn told his girlfriend about the incident immediately. He never told her about any shotgun.

The next morning, he told the police about the incident. He didn't tell them about any shotgun.

Dunn then met with an attorney. He embellished his story and claimed he saw a shotgun.

I think the shotgun was as real as the flag Sheila Jackson-Lee says Neil Armstrong planted on Mars.

Imho, this cop was afraid, and killed a young man as a result. Was it because she is a woman? It’s very possible.

Interesting that the pictures of two cops, Beth and Kisha, those pictures are missing. Why would that be?

why did they have to point out that the cop was a woman?

Because female cops are killers, and please don't ask the media to keep censoring the news.

As Ann Coulter wrote. "It turns out that, far from "de-escalating force" through their superior listening skills, female law enforcement officers vastly are more likely to shoot civilians than their male counterparts. (Especially when perps won't reveal where they bought a particularly darling pair of shoes.)

Unable to use intermediate force, like a bop on the nose, female officers quickly go to fatal force. According to Lott's analysis, each 1 percent increase in the number of white female officers in a police force increases the number of shootings of civilians by 2.7 percent.

Adding males to a police force decreases the number of civilians accidentally shot by police. Adding black males decreases civilian shootings by police even more. By contrast, adding white female officers increases accidental shootings. (And for my Handgun Control Inc. readers: Private citizens are much less likely to accidentally shoot someone than are the police, presumably because they do not have to approach the suspect and make an arrest.)

In addition to accidentally shooting people, female law enforcement officers are also more likely to be assaulted than male officers – as the whole country saw in Atlanta last week. Lott says: "Increasing the number of female officers by 1 percentage point appears to increase the number of assaults on police by 15 percent to 19 percent."

In addition to the obvious explanations for why female cops are more likely to be assaulted and to accidentally shoot people – such as that our society encourages girls to play with dolls – there is also the fact that women are smaller and weaker than men.

In a study of public-safety officers – not even the general population – female officers were found to have 32 percent to 56 percent less upper body strength and 18 percent to 45 percent less lower body strength than male officers – although their outfits were 43 percent more coordinated. (Here's the cite! Frank J. Landy, "Alternatives to Chronological Age in Determining Standards of Suitability for Public Safety Jobs," Technical Report, Vol. 1, Jan. 31, 1992.)

Something is wrong with cop training when they go around killing innocent people...and dogs.

So what do we do about it? Seriously. Who do we appeal to?

It’s almost getting to the point where people are going to have to shoot cops on sight just to feel safe.
