A California teenager whose father was believed to have kidnapped her in September 2022 was fatally shot by deputies as she followed their commands, and she didn’t appear to be wearing tactical gear as officials previously claimed, newly released video shows.

...

However, newly released video from the incident doesn't show the teen in tactical gear, and it reveals she was obeying deputies’ instructions to approach them.

...

The sheriff's office also released a belt recording from the deputy closest to Savannah when she got out of the truck. He is heard repeatedly yelling: “Passenger, get out! Passenger, get out!” and “Come here! Come here! Come to me; come to me!”

“Stop! Stop shooting her. He’s in the car!” the deputy shouted. “She’s OK! He’s in the car. Stop!”

“They have become the standing army our forefathers warned us about.”

We’d be far better off with the standing army. Military doesn’t behave this way.

I bet you didn’t see any problem with the cops firing in the direction of the highway with bullets bouncing off the Jersey barrier. It’s all good gun control.

Surprised they didn’t shoot each other in this Mexican standoff.

It’s the small things, too.

Below is a video of an old vet, legally blind and a bit grumpy. He’s walking down a public sidewalk with a folding cane in his back pocket. A cop stops him because she thinks the folding cane is a gun.

The old guy dispels her suspicions. That should be the end of it. But the cop then demands the old guy’s ID. He refuses, as is his right under the 4A. He did absolutely nothing wrong. And I can’t blame him. Who wants to be entered into a police database for no reason?

The cop’s sergeant shows up. Together these two monsters arrest the old guy, cuff him, and haul him off to jail.

He’s now suing the police department. Once again, the taxpayers will take the hit.

Is such terrible police behavior common? No. But it’s happening way too often. And it’s destroying our confidence in the police.

A cop is like a box of chocolates . . .

It will kill your dog.

Same strategy the FBI used to rescue the kids at Waco in 1993.

However much training LEOs get, it’s not enough.

Corporations and governments promote the large fallacy that training can bridge deficiencies in mindsets and talent.

...when even any junior sports coach can tell you that training will never offset poor recruitment.

They would have shot her if she hadn’t obeyed their commands.

Cops are literally taught to empty their weapons if they perceive a threat,
....................................

I was never taught that, nor do I know anyone who was taught that. Employ deadly force until the point the threat is stopped.

There was a male PO who shot a man who was obeying his commands in a hallway.

Horrible film
