      Yeah. thats the horrible thing about America.

      We’re not shocked that police pointlessly killed another innocent person to get their rocks off.

      We’re shocked at when they are held accountable for it.

    man what was going through their heads at that moment? “an unarmed woman has fled to her house and told us not to enter, let’s just fuckin kill her”??? I don’t think anything could ever justify this to be clear but what was even the thought process??? did she walk too close to her own damn window or something??

      It’s no excuse, but their training is measured in weeks, not years. And it mostly consists of scaring them into thinking everyone who isn’t another cop is a direct and immediate threat to their lives and must be stopped with deadly force.

      They are literally taught that everyone have concealed weapons and dream of killing cops.

    Why they shot with deadly rounds an unarmed person instead of tasing her or shot something not lethal to stun her?

      I know it may sound crazy but cops in my country can handle situations like these without shooting or tazing or stunning anybody at all.
