well, alrighty then !
Give it some time for things to die down a bit, and manufacture some good evidence in the meantime.
Let’s reverse the situation. What if the homeowner shot the cop first because he thought she was an intruder?
Hmmm.. I can only guess what the outcome would be.
What is it that we keep hearing about “common-sense” gun control “keeping guns out of the hands of those who shouldn’t have them”? What happens when that’s the cops?
We should all be making a list and checking it twice!
Or, if there were real justice, give the family the option of shooting this Rambo cop-chick center of mass with her own sidearm. That's justice.
“The officer broke down in tears upon realizing her mistake”
Shouldn’t she have been taught to make sure there was no mistake beforeThe officer broke down it tears upon realizing her mistake firing?

As long as the officer went home safe.
She did not ‘accidently’ kill him. She shot him in the chest - she obviously meant to kill him.
well, alrighty then !
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.
There is no excuse for this.
None.
It is time for a nationwide stand down of police and retraining.
There have been too many incidents of random uncalled for dog killings, killings of people in wrong homes on no-knock raids, and warrantless raids on peoples homes.
Police are not gods. We somehow existed as a nation for over 235 years without the amount of people being killed by cops under inexcusable circumstances.
In part:
THIS is the latest in piles and piles and piles and piles and piles and piles of evidence, that soon in America, the rational response to cops coming to your door is going to soon be, tragically for our Republic, to either shoot them all, or to run like hell, or both.
...
My heart bleeds for this family. This woman cop should IMMEDIATELY be fired, and NEVER be allowed to work as cop again. Immediately, a grand jury should be empaneled to charge her with 2nd degree (non-premeditated) murder. She should be convicted, and made to pay restitution to the family for the rest of her natural life in perpetuity.
MURDERING COPS HAVE GOT TO BE STOPPED, OR WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A CIVIL WAR.
If they continue, societal trust in America is going to reach a certain low level, and once we have reached that critical stage, America is going to be in a world of hurt. Loss of societal trust has been the benchmark of every civil war that has ever raged, including the one in our own country 150 years ago. As trust ebbs and distrust flows, the fabric of society unravels, leading to lawlessness, corruption, fear, loss of economic activity, and ultimately, to outright civil war.
She thought her life was in danger. That seems to be the only justification needed in officer shootings.
Monster. She’s a flipping monster and should be locked away forever.
After a couple of weeks on desk duty, he will be snatched by Homeland Security. For the 0-bama regime, this is a resume enhancer.
The bitch needs hard prison time and the entire police force sued out of existence.
Department policy should ALWAYS be that an officer cannot fire his gun at another person unless he, the officer, is fired upon first. End of story. And if you don’t like it, go flip burgers because you’re not fit to wear the uniform.
When I was a kid, the police dept. of the town I grew up in instituted just such a policy after a series of unjustified police shootings. Caused an unbelievable uproar. Chief told the unhappy cops that they were welcome to leave if they didn’t like it and a number of them did, including my cousin. But you know what? Unjustified police shootings ended then and there. Unfortunately, that police chief retired a few years later and the new chief went back to shoot first ask questions later.
Charge that officer with murder
I hate to say this, but this is only going to stop when folks take justice into their own hands... The law is not on our side.
I bet if a cop shot a dog and had his/her own shot, or if they shot a kid and had his/her own shot, this crap would end.
Dead.
