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.
Really? So, when he pointed his gun at her and pulled the trigger, did he intend to kill her with love and happiness?
Even if she was holding something that looked like a gun, even if she was holding an actual gun, she was in her own house!!
Whoever said it was OK? It was a tragedy, but the cop thought he saw a gun (and they did find one on the floor - not merely in the house), and out of the millions of encounters, there are bound to be a few split-second decisions that went the wrong way.
It's like liberals ignore all the life-saving work that cops do every day, putting their own lives at danger on a daily basis, and when that rare instance comes up when a cop made the wrong decision, it's all about demonizing police and making them out as racists. I wonder if there would be the same reaction if the victim were white.
The problem is, it isn't so rare. It makes you wonder how often this has happened in the past when there were no body cams to record it or social media to show it. I have a hard time believing this just started happening. More like we are just starting to get the scope of it.
Why don’t you go look for it and let me know. I’m busy watching a movie with my coffee this morning. What idiot would think she was simply playing video games while being shot. Btw, I have a slightly used Boeing 747 for sale if you’re interested. I take PayPal.
You were the one implying that we didn't have the whole story. Maybe while you are drinking your coffee and watching a movie you can come up with some more unsubstantiated claims.
Every welfare check I have ever heard of involved the cops knocking on the door, announcing themselves and stating welfare check.
Some say, this is a bad neighborhood so he skipped that.
Well, in a bad neighborhood where everyone is armed, I would think prowling around some ones backyard at night would be an even worse idea where the prowler has a good chance of getting shot by a homeowner defending himself and his family.
The whole story, at least what’s known thus far, seems worse.
Neighbor reported an open door. Police arrived and checked out the exterior of the house. Officer saw the woman through a window and ordered her to put her hands up. He/ she did not ID themselves as LE. Then the officer shot.
Fort Worth has not released the full unedited video.
It is unknown what, if anything, the woman did that prompted the officer to shoot.
If the cop shot her through the window it seems highly unlikely that he was in immediate danger of being shot.
