exactly as she did. why? how was the cop supposed to react is the question. what if she shot him?dude, it was called in as a burglar might be present. please stop fking up the facts. The fact is from the woman's own family she pointed a gun at the cop. Now, this is tragic to say the least, but to say the cop was in the wrong is plain bullshit. BULLSHIT. stop with making up shit. he felt threatened. PERIOD. He's allowed to DEFEND HIMSELF. It's tragic. there is nothing wrong however. not one damn thing. I will also call out the chief shame on him.You know, there are several things here...........
First off, the police weren't called in for an emergency or criminal call, they were called on a non emergency number for a routine welfare check.
Second, if you saw the video footage on television from the cop's body cam, you would have seen that he fired his weapon before he finished telling her to show him her hands. Matter of fact, he fired his weapon just before he said the final word.
The woman was in her own house, and the doors were open, which is why a neighbor called in a welfare check. Since the lights were on in the house, and the door was open, why in the hell didn't they go in through the front door where they could actually see what was going on? And, considering the fact that there was an 8 year old boy in the house that the woman was watching, it's lucky he didn't get shot as well.
Personally? I think the cop was wrong to fire as soon as they did, and there might need to be a trial to see if he is guilty of manslaughter or murder.
Hmmm, so if you see someone sneaking around your house at 2 in the morning how do you react? Why didn't at least one of them go to the front door? Who said she was pointing a gun? This isn't a tragic accident, these cops were careless and not following procedures.
She would have been justified, she wasn't sneaking around his house unannounced.
