'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.

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."

You not only support the police, you support the police in THIS INSTANCE. to quote "I support law-enforcement on this one especially".

The police have admitted making a 'deadly mistake' and killing an innocent girl. Of course they didn't kill her intentionally. They killed her negligently. It is still their fault and you still support them.

You can say that you don't support 'deadly mistakes', but in your own words, you admit that in this case, you do support 'deadly mistakes'.
