Maybe it should be the second question after the obvious, “how the frick does one kill a man with a gun and say ‘oopsie poopsie, thought it was the taser!’?

Maybe your day job should be fighting people with weapons warrants. And oh by the way, don’t make a mistake in defending yourself or you will be on trial for murder.

The problem is the actions that started altercation when adrenaline isn’t pumping, not what happens in the heat of a life or death altercation.

Just shoot em in the leg!!!

Bodycam Footage

This lady is not fit for her job. Fire her. Pulling a gun instead of a taser is not an acceptable "oops my bad moment".

However, I err towards the side that no criminal charges will be charged on her imo. We've seen enough videos where someone under arrest runs inside the car to pull a weapon. The shooting would have been justified imo. But the whole shooting on accident thing makes it much harder to defend.

I feel bad for the cop. She’s spent her life doing a hard, dangerous job for the benefit of the community. An idiot does an idiot thing, puts her in a tough situation, and as humans can do she chokes in the moment. Lucky for me when I choke at my job I might lose my company a little money. For her it can be life or death in either direction. If we want cops we have to be forgiving of them in these situations, absent other evidence/factors that show they were reckless or intentional.

I would rather have 100 of this cop in my society than 100 of the criminal she shot.

Holy frick.


She’s a dumbass, but that’s how you get shot right there.

You entered this thread and quickly made the assumption that his car was left in drive and that’s why he attempted to re-enter the vehicle

That's correct, I was just making a guess based off of the vague police report in the op. I didn't state such as fact. Obviously that's not what actually happened.

I agree.
WHile the idiots would still be out crying about BLM b/c of this, the fact that she mistakenly shot him makes it worse. Would have been better if she just shot him b/c that's what she meant to do.
She had every right to shoot him after what he did imo, although the majority of this country thinks cops shouldn't shoot a criminal until after the criminal kills a cop.

She may have been so focused on the suspect that it didn't register.

She was focused on the target because her partner was between her and the criminal and they were scuffling.

Every cop just needs to quit. Let everything turn into a CHAZ zone. I think that’s the only solution.

Then when honest hardworking people have had enough of the pain and suffering at the hands of thugs we can all come to the table and talk reasonably.

You can’t discuss this with the left right now. They are raptured by a religion of wokeness.
