A decision on whether she will be Charged or not
soon.

If a someone, with a legal gun in america, discharged their weapon and an officer was shot and killed, they would be prosecuted. There should not be exceptions for someone who carries a badge

Exactly

...if a life is taken then there has to be accountability, whether it’s intentional or not...if the law itself wasn’t answerable even if it were found to be ‘human error’, then the law would fall apart because it exists with society trust and confidence in it...

[Crimson Dynamo]

i dont think anyone here or elsewhere has stated that this should not go through the normal legal proceedings as dictated by USA law

and it will

just as the other mistakes of this kind have

[Ammi]

...and then the investigation will determine how it proceeds, I would say...

As loathe as I am to admit it, Meghan McCain brought up some good points about this story. Firstly, tasers are meant to be holstered on an officer's less dominant side while a gun is held on their dominate side, secondly, a glock has a built in safety feature which essentially makes it so you can't squeeze the trigger accidentally, you have to fire it with a knowing intention to do so. Basically, you pull the trigger, it pauses halfway and you've got to essentially 'confirm' you want to fire the gun by pulling the trigger all the way. That and a gun is noticeably heavier than a stun gun, plus stun guns are brightly coloured to help distinguish between the two.

This officer is a veteran that helped train other officers which makes, at best, such gross incompetence worrying. Either way, she must be charged, quitting the job isn't punishment enough for killing a person.

[Tom4784]

It's always funny how racists will try to victim blame black people for being murdered by the police when white people would survive such encounters without risk of death, but you just know that if this were to happen to a white person, the same people acting like a misdemeanour is a justifiable death sentence for black people would be screeching from the rooftops for justice for a white victim, and I'm guessing the officer would be facing a heavy dose of misogyny too with her incompetence being blamed on her gender rather than her capabilities.

same as the case in 2015 when a self-same mistake occurred

[UserSince2005]

Poor woman. Police should stand down and let the feral population take over. It won’t be long before they are respected

Why only 2nd degree manslaughter and least give 1st degree manslaughter

It looks like the push behind the "Defund the Police" is planned out. Antifa and Black lives matter will become in charge of law and order, just the same as Hitler Brown shirts did, it's the same playbook being played out, and Barak Obama has been talking about it for years, he even hinted at it this past week.

Imagine comparing Black Lives Matter to the Nazis .

All this because people want to jump to the defense of officers regularly killing black people for existing.

But they kill more White people, so your argument falls down at that point.

The white race is the majority race of the US but if you looked at statistics then you would see a different perspective

Yeah, and in majority Caucasian areas, Caucasian people have exactly the same dealings with the Police as non Caucasian people do in majority non Caucasian areas. The media propaganda is what makes all the difference.

That is Rubbish
Antifa are being arrested, mostly

[Tom4784]

White people in the US don't have to fear that the police will look for a reason to shoot them, and they don't have to fear justice not being dealt since, in the few occasions of police brutality towards a white person, more often than not, the police officer faces consequences, yet it is a battle to get an officer indicted for similar violence towards a black person.

It says a lot that your first reaction to such violence is not 'this is wrong, something has to change' but 'It's okay because I've told myself that it happens to white people as well.' There was a comment in the Brexit thread I believe, about how people don't mind being treated badly as long as someone else is treated worse and your comments remind me of that a lot.

[Alf]

Here he is, "We need to reimagine Policing"

He's been saying it for years, and then during his time as President, Antifa, Black Lives Matter and ISIS were all created.

Barack is behind all this.

[Glenn.]

I hope justice is done. Regardless of any crime committed, no one deserves to be shot dead.
