"Come back with proof that those 6 policemen went out with the intent to kill this woman - picking her out of a crowd of 3000 and I might reconsider my opinion."

'Responsibility' and 'intention' are two different concepts. Of course the police did not 'intend' to kill her. Their actions, however, were 'responsible' for her death.

They misused the equipment, not only hitting an innocent bystander, not the intended target, but hitting her in the face, an area NOT to be targeted ever.

Oh, so NOW you want to distinguish between intent and responsibility. I agree completely with your statements above.

The only fatality in this incident was caused by the police. You support the police, so presumably you support the killing of this young woman. See how you are?

Too bad, though, you weren't capable of distinguishing between my support of police and supporting the killing of civilians. Yeah, I go around supporting deadly mistakes all the time - not!

My stand was and is: "I support law-enforcement on this one especially - because that's what they were trying to do: enforce the law. So sorry a young girl got killed - but I will never believe that the police's intent was to kill anyone."
