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!”

Hopefully for the LEOs, that was enough time to get everything under the carpet.
LEOs are our friends. Until they are not.
However much training LEOs get, it’s not enough.
I couldn’t believe the number of shots fired.
This quote more closely matches the audio:
” “Passenger, get out,” the deputy repeatedly yells as gunfire erupts in the background.
He instructs the girl, “Come here! Come to me! Come, come, come … walk, walk, walk.” “
When he says “Come, come, come” is when the other cops specifically opened fire on the girl.
I think because it sounded like the police dog whistle of “Gun, gun, gun!” which is their license to kill trigger phrase.
Proof again that every encounter with law enforcement is a potentially lethal encounter AND that even if you do what they tell you to do they might go ahead and kill you anyway.
It is time to end policing as we know it. They have become the standing army our forefathers warned us about.
End the police, bring back the elected Sheriff as law enforcement everywhere and end laws that infringe on Constitutional Carry rights because armed citizens are safer and more responsible gun owners than any bunch of Killer Kops.
That's all that counts.
Is the dog okay?
In the meantime, I'll let the disgruntled traffic-ticket-pissed-off anti-police folks rant, here.
In my book, ILLEGALS and anchor babies do not have "Standing", as U.S. Citizens, and therefore don't exist. So that would make them enemy invaders......
thats a F up story.
It’s not training. It’s mistraining. Cops are literally taught to empty their weapons if they perceive a threat, and they are also taught that threats are all around. The theory that success is being alive at the end of your shift produces trigger-happy narcissistic weaponized cops. If you are not willing to err on the side of a bad non-shoot, don’t become a cop.
I’m sure her dad will be subject to murder charges now (death during commission of a felony), but none of the police officers who actually fired on her will be.
“I think because it sounded like the police dog whistle of “Gun, gun, gun!” Which is their license to kill, trigger phrase.”
Very astute of you. I think you are exactly correct!
come, com, com, = gun, gun, gun.
New training for officers.
NEVER say “come, com, com” or start singing that Beach Boys song Fun, Fun, Fun to a suspect.
Good point about “Come” sounding like “Gun.”
We have a military alphabet where the sounds of each letter are distinct.
Every armed stop should be conducted with one person only giving commands, and those commands being distinct unambiguous sounds.
this poor girl, she watched her father kill her mother and this happens :(
"State probe of San Bernardino County deputies’ fatal shooting of unarmed teen in Hesperia not complete."
They can't comment becasue it's "under investigation".
Keystone Cops in a Cluster-quack moment.
They served and protected her to death!
Good going there Chief Wiggam.

The police are losing the support of folks on the left. That’s no surprise at all. Today’s leftists are nothing like the JFK Democrats of old. Today’s leftists want anarchy and then communism.
Here’s my concern. The police are also losing the support of folks on the right. We see that here on Free Republic. And not just with this article. We Freepers believe in the rule of law. One would expect us to be 100% pro-police. But we’re not. There are usually more FR posts questioning (or even denouncing) police behavior than supporting it.
Something is very, very wrong here. It’s a combination of the media slanting things and the police acting badly. Do not discount the latter. There are hundreds of videos of the police casually doing terrible things even when not under pressure.
Sorry for the rant. But there are bad times ahead for the country. The police and the conservative citizens need to trust each other. And that’s not the direction we’re going.
Just like the Mesa jewels murdered the bug exterminator while obeying and on his knees with his hands on the back of his head. What kind of filth are these police departments hiring? These killers should get the cooler for eternity.
