And as far as this cop knew, there might have been 3 street punks in there... must take some real bravado for you to sit behind your keyboard and judge before the facts come out..
But there weren't. And he would be hard pressed to provide reasonable articulable suspicion that there were. And even if he could do that, there is STILL no justification for him to have killed the woman.
Manslaughter is generally the appropriate charge when someone dies as a result of a mistake. However, this was no mistake, he didn't accidentally shoot her. The cop INTENDED to kill her, and in fact DID kill her.
How do you know the officer had that knowledge???? and your key words, "most likely" knew proves my point..
At some point in time this country will not be able to fill all of the police jobs, especially the bigger cities where crime is higher..
Generally, a dispatcher gives them the details they have. There's no reason to believe they didn't have the information the neighbor gave them about who was in the house when he called in.
Ironically, since it was a wellness check he could have just entered the open front door without a warrant and yelled "Police, is everyone ok in here?"
So should Boeing workers and executives be sent to prison when one of their planes crash?? Or should I be sent to prison if a blow a stop light and kill someone???
Again, HUGE difference between an accident and an intentional act.
How is it possible that you aren't understanding any of this?
Yes he can. He can break the door down and enter for a wellness check.
I'm sure how they put that into practice varies because they prefer to get a relatives permission to break and enter if they have to, but they do not need a warrant to enter private property when someone calls for a wellness check.
Point being, he had NO idea it was some lady playing video games, it COULD have been street thugs (why is someones door open for 4 hours at that time of night??? And what if he saw an arm go up..
Your lawyer comment is very ironic considering your comments to send him to prison before the facts have even been stated.. take some time to read up on this countries legal system..
Woman or street thugs, STILL no justification for the murder.
Dude, just stop. You're really embarrassing yourself at this point.
And as far as this cop knew, there might have been 3 street punks in there... must take some real bravado for you to sit behind your keyboard and judge before the facts come out..
LOL, you're really grasping at straws here. If he thought there were three street punks in there, he shouldn't have walked around looking into windows. He should have called for backup - particularly since you think he was some green "kid".
Yes he can. He can break the door down and enter for a wellness check.
