Who suggested that?

What do you suppose the criminal element will do if and when cops say it is too dangerous to make arrests at their residence?

All options should be on the table dependent on circumstances. But I agree with the cops in this situation, there was no need to shoot the criminal.

I mean, how stupid would someone have to be to actually believe that's what she intended to do? Like, really, really stupid.
You are agreeing with me

In every form of media I have ever seen, air fresheners are hung from the rearview.
I put mine on the shifter or from the cigarette lighter jack. I have been pulled over one to many times, so I try to avoid it. It’s a dumb infraction imo.

Most likely since the DA, for political reasons, will ensure that she is convicted of a felony charge of manslaughter in the second or third degree... But first degree is still possible.

She will have to do a minimum of one year and a day in prison to appease the anti-police public.

I’m not really for putting her in prison, since she destroyed her own life by this mistake that cost an individual’s life.

Well, good luck in getting people in Minnesota to volunteer in being cops.
