So you don't see trying to put a car into gear with 2 police officers dangling out of the car as a situation that warrants deadly force?

Why are you trying to push this lie that the officers were "dangling out of the car"?

Both officers were clear of the car before she fired the gun and obviously none were hurt as the car drive away.

Of course, but that's not relevant here until we make the penalty for not complying instant death at the hands of cops.


You better not be in the situation she was in. You’ll probably get your arse whipped, or worse. And then you’d ask why wasn’t LEO’s there to help me.

Let’s see if you’d be cool and not bothered under that situation. A person resisting is a harm. Get that in your freaking brain! They did not beat him up prior. He had something that flagged the LEO’s and they had to move forward. Get over yourself. It becomes intense when a person will not comply.

I feel as though people want cops to be our best and brightest, and are held to an extremely high standard, yet anyone qualified for the job is smart enough to not do it. Over time, this will be a problem

I understand actions have consequences, but this feels like a scapegoat…I’m not sure what the correct punishment is, but this doesn’t feel right.

1. Is no bail warranted in this case? That seems a bit ridiculous

Baldwin shot her. It’s the same if you want to say I didn’t mean to as far as this case. Oops is what Baldwin said. Bet he does not spend one day in jail.

And if she wasn't completely useless and incompetent as a police officer she could have just help drag the 160 pound criminal out of the car. So instead of staying out of the way and let the real cops handle it, she felt she needed to pull out a weapon causing both of the other officers to disengage. And because she is a completely useless cop who has never used either her gun or her taser in her 20 year career, of course she used the wrong weapon and screwed everything up.

You don’t know and anyone else doesn’t know what they would have to do. Read my other posts. He should have complied. If he would have this would not be a story. Your full of useless shLt.

St. Louis has lost over 175 police officers this year and Chicago has lost over 1000.

The resignation/retirement rates in these urban cities is unsustainable.

So just let him resist arrest and jump in a car that you don’t know if he could pull a firearm on YOU? Go watch Sesame Street. He frigging resisted. Can you get that in your brain?

I can’t understand the finding that her actions are reckless. That requires knowingly doing something risky, she didn’t do that.

And if the trainee partner doesn't rnn a plate over a blinker... this would not be a story.

And if the perp complies, this would not be a story.

And if the cop knew her right from her left, this would not be a story.

See... many things could have happened differently and we have a different ending.

To completely absolve the police while completely blaming the perp is completely insane.

Ooh... big wrong.

Reckless does not require knowingly doing something risky, at least not in the state of MN.

I will never forget my father having the talk with me when I got my drivers license. He said to comply with police when stopped. I asked him how about just taking off running or trying to take his gun away so I dont get hurt. He said do not do that as you may end up dead. So from that point on I have complied and I have never been shot when stopped.

What a moronic statement

So being able to resolve conflict for 20 years without a weapon makes her useless? Do you want cops to use their weapon more

You are such an idiot you are confusing people

Quit making excuses. Remember I said what would you do when possibly be your life in the the situation. You’ll probably offer them a cupcake and say, let’s talk about this first.

So we are criminalizing mistakes now?

Please show me the evidence she intentionally disregarded the risk.

She said “taser taser taser” for fricks sake.

She should be held civilly liable for negligence. Get your cash and move on.

All the good cops will leave and you will be left with shithheads and you will get more unjustified murders.

Congrats on making the community much less safe with your retarded views.

Stay in your lane of tax law my dude because you are way the frick off on this one.
