Neighbors - good neighbors - often call the police or relative to do a wellness check on someone who is older and lives alone. How is that nosy?
I had never heard of (or imagined) anyone doing such a thing until the last few years when I started reading about cops shooting the people they're supposed to be checking on.
It *is* nosy, but more importantly it's extremely dangerous.
What a tragedy.. And that poor nephew, who had to see it.
But what does this have to do with politics? There are about 2 million citizen-police encounters a year in which they save thousands of lives.. I applaud them for doing a dangerous and thankless job, particularly since they are being demonized by the left, but it really isn't a politics issue.
No. He may have been inept, he may have shot unnecessarily, but you don’t know. What I do know is unlikely is that he intended to kill her in malice. Manslaughter at max... oh, and for all you know she was holding something that looked like a gun.
It’s soooo easy to be an armchair quarterback.
Murder.
Call me an armchair QB if you want -- there is no excuse for this !!!

Due to the races of those involved in this shooting (officer white, victim black female), it is an inflammatory situation that will further be inflamed in the coming days as we see vocal protest marches and calls for justice. These things make it political, as is any topic involving police shootings.
