If the claims are accurate, she called in a prowler to 9/11 and the cops show up and enter her residence. The cops are inside talking with her for a little while, she goes to the stove, picks up a pot of (boiling?) water, and a cop shoots and kills her. Bodycam footage is available for those so inclined.

She seemed a little confused or out of it. The cops didn't seem to have any obligation to stick around, so what, did they suspect she was high and trying to snoop around and bust her for possession? Especially in today's climate, why prolong an interaction beyond what your department policy dictates?

This is a clear cut case of total failure within this department. It is only exacerbated by the fact the officer job jumped with 4-6 agencies and had issues before, that should have been clear cut red flags not to hire him.

I'm coming from my experience working within a police department (non-sworn employee) for the past 19 years and how the agency I work at handles recruitment, procedures and CIT cases.

This is a travesty.

He wanted to stick around, wasting everyone's time so what, she would respect his authoritah?

What are the scenarios here? Am I missing something?

a) There actually was a prowler: try to establish if she suspects anyone, offer to drive by again in an hour or so. Why this would require more than a minute or two of contact is hard for me to understand. What policies or procedures would suggest a long interview for such a call for service?

b) She's high: tell her to sleep it off and stop wasting dispatch's time

c) She's nutty: offer to call family/friend/ an ambulance, and if that's declined, walk away. Prior to going to the stove, there was no reason to believe she was a threat to herself or anyone else.

a) yeah, no reason to be there that long and even that far inside the house, unless she had stated she thought someone was inside or invited them in. IF she stated she thought she heard stuff outside, they would just do a perimeter check, then discuss with her on the porch.
b) yes, easy call
c) even if she has a pot of boiling water, and threatening to use it (I'm not sure that was the case), that situation doesn't warrant gun shots. You can talk her down, give her space, let her throw it and evade, then use techniques to get her under control. Leave the inside of the house. Taser (and I'm not even sure that would be needed). You have two large guys against a smaller lady with a pot.

Have you seen the guy that shot her? I could have told you he’d be a piece of shit

i just saw the video, what a pathetic and awful human being that cop is.

Hope he rots in prison.

"I hate the police."

Who said it in October, 2014?

Spoiler: show

JD Vance

(Though I have no doubt the left is trying to import this euro idiocy to America, and too many of you morons will cheer them on when they do.)

I think this is fake news

An off-duty police officer, allegedly intoxicated, crashed his car into two people on a motorbike, leaving them severely injured and hospitalized. Footage captured shows responding officers helping the officer instead of assessing his sobriety.

I draw the line at killing squirrels! And raccoons.

The people responsible have names and addresses, btw.

When an FBI agent goes into business for himself:

Why is the “a” replaced with an asterisk as if it’s some unallowable swear word?

The theory is that certain words like "r*pe" or "s*ici*de" or "v*ccines" hurt your standing in the algorithms, or so the rumor goes. Not sure if it's actually true though. Might be a cargo cult effect. Happens a lot on Youtube and Facebook and other platforms, too.

Funniest example was where game reviewers on Youtube have to replace saying Suicide Squad with Slip'n'slide Squad.

You think something Burt found on Twitter or 4Chan or 8Chan is fake?

It wasn't, btw. Though of course, it's laughably toothless.

If The West had any spirit left, these people (rapists and cops) would be set on fire as a warning to others, instead of coddled and protected.
