This came up yesterday .... concensus has the cop tried, convicted and executed.

I believe the story that he had a WII controller. But...

If you knock on a door and they ask “who’s there” and you don’t reply, I would EXPECT someone inside to answer with a gun in their hand.

But did he point it? Or give any indication of trying to use it?

Standing there with a gun in your hand should not be a death sentence. (even though he wasn’t)

She needs to be charged.

No witnesses reported seeing the boy holding any weapons, and authorities won't say whether a weapon was found at the scene.

Meanwhile, local police were desperately trying to canvas the troops for an appropriate 'throwdown' to display.

Back in the day the fastest I could draw and fire with any accuracy was ~ 3/4 of a second. Assuming her speed was similar, that would have been plenty of time to recognize that what he was holding WASNT a gun. If she came to the door with gun drawn its a different story.

Obviously the officer THOUGHT he had a weapon and reacted but unfortunately in the wrong way. Put yourself in her position having just “accidentally” killing that young man. She will NEVER be the same.

I know of an police officer that HAD to kill a crazed man who had already shot two officers and to keep the man from killing more people. He has been haunted by that NECESSARY killing since that terrible day some years ago. Killing someone is not like TV, it’s REAL and permanent.

"authorities won't say whether a weapon was found at the scene."

If a gun had been found I guarantee they would be displaying it on every media outlet in the community. This was out and out murder.

What do you expect when cops are practically given a free hand in such situations?

“aspiring Marine”

Is that like aspiring rap artist? Beside, this was a probation raid on a trailer park, so the situation was not as peachy as we’d like to believe.

Standard rule application: What would happen if I did the exact same thing as this LEO?

Answer: I would be charged with murder. If the victim were a minority and I weren’t, I would be charged with 1st degree murder.

Gun or not a gun? Too late, you'd already be dead if it was.

Wait a minute, I’m just seeing there is something about this story that doesn’t make any sense. Aren’t the police supposed to SAY that they’re the police when they knock on the door? It says she didn’t answer when the kid asked: who’s there?

This is the first account I’ve read where there is any doubt he had a game controller and not a gun, but some people will come to the door armed if they don’t know who is there.

Hey, I’ve lived a pretty ordinary life and that’s happened to me twice, out in the country but not, you know, in the wilderness.

BTW, was this cop there alone, or were others with her?

Given the absence of descriptive information about the “officer,” one is left to conclude that she is an affirmative action hire—In other words, a daughter of Obama. As such, she will be fiercely defended.

I reserve the right to alter this opinion as new/additional information becomes available.

Why does it matter that the cop is female?
