Wait, I didn't know she was actively shooting children. That wasn't clear in the video of her cowering while holding a pot.

Happening.

Then why did the officer who didn't know what was in the pot tell the woman to go to the stove and dick with the pot?

She called the police to her apartment for help with a possible intruder. She invited them into her home. They looked around and did the job they were there to do. One ot them was ready to leave, as they should have done. The other was looking to find something. They told her to take the pot off of the stove. Those were their instructions. Then, the one pussy cop flipped his shite which led to him shooting the woman in the face. Sometimes things are exactly what you see in a video. This didn't happen a couple of days ago. The video has been reviewed and the killer has been charged. You're wrong here. Take your condescending bullshite and excuse making somewhere else.


Pretty insults aside, I don’t doubt you’re correct. Sounds like cops like this guy are why we have the 4th amendment. Also why we have due process so I’m not inclined to grab my torch and pitchfork just yet.

Let cooler heads prevail.

Discuss options….they already should have left her place before the boiling water fiasco.

Take the officers out of a “confrontational” situation. A situation the shooter escalated.

Obviously these officers aren’t very smart and have large egos because if they had any sense they realize the house is secure and leave instead of escalating the situation.

They didn’t need ID.

This is exactly why you never invite the police into your home. Once in they believe they have the right to do and look at whatever they want and are hard as hell to get out.

Ah yes, the typical pot of boiling acid.

Little did the cops know, they were walking into the evil lair from the latest Batman comic!

Im seriously wondering if there’s any situation for some of you where a cop may be in the wrong. I mean, I know I’m talking to the most ignorant subset of our population, most of whom have been failed by their public education system, but still.

I guess if you work at Wal Mart and your life revolves around 19 year olds playing sports, a police officer must be the highest attainable level of existence.

I don't see anything from the video that leads me to believe that she was about to toss boiling hot water on the police officers.


Cops should have brought hot dogs instead.

WTF were they even doing in her house? They were called over a possible prowler outside her home, determined there was no prowler, and had already said goodnight. Dudley Dumbshit invites himself in to launch an impromptu investigation into the Case of the Hooptie With a Broken Window and starts demanding ID and directing kitchen safety.

There was no situation that required his presence in the first place, so nothing to 'retreat' from. He could just leave.

Invoking Uvalde is the worst attempt at justification I've seen in both threads combined. And frankly, you're a POS for trying to use the emotional weight of a bunch of dead kids, to excuse his actions.

I get where you're coming from, but it is also not uncommon for people to call police under false pretenses and then attack them.

It was pretty clear early on this wasn't one of those cases. She invited them in and they spent time talking and joking around. Nothing about this said ambush was a possibility. Hell, their responsibility to the call was pretty much over and done before the shooting happened.

Haha stfu dipshit.

You go into a building that has not been cleared you have to clear it first bc you don’t no the threat. Idk what all is going on and the slow mow I have nothing to go off of, what I can go off of is the remarks saying she had a pot of something. So he has no idea what’s in the building you have your gun up and it’s pointing at anything your looking at u til you have verified the thread level of that room then you lower it and go to the next room and repeat.

Me saying that you don’t no whats in the pot is some how triggering your arse get fricked. Was the shooting justified sound like it was not from what I’m reading about. But that’s how it works clearing a home or building, sounds like the guy made a delayed decision and it was the wrong decision.

I wish I could meet someone like you and see how far off our views truly are also just to see how tf you would talk face to face with me u keyboard bitch.

You should probably watch the full video. They weren't clearing a building so your tutorial on how to do so isn't applicable to the topic.
