Time to Sue Nintendo, because they recommend using the strap to hold the wii controller on your hand so it doesn't go flying or so you cant put it down when you answer the door...

“She thought Roupe was holding a gun...”

So what? It’s not illegal to hold a gun in the United States of America, especially on your own property. Even if he had been holding a gun, that would be no excuse for killing him.

I’m amazed he was only shot once.

It’s all in the training manual.

And in the range targets too

Obviously a pic of a shooting range...

So what if it had been a gun? Answering your door with a gun in your hand is now a capital crime?

She was crying because she couldn’t shoot the family dog too.

Well, at least the brave young female officer made it home safely and alive—that’s what counts.

In minneeeesota police officers do NOT make probation
related “visits”- unless there is a warrant issued-

Parole and probation officers are supposed to be doing
the visits, sometimes with police backup (if they feel
the offender is violent)

Sounds like this dufus cop had her gun already drawn-

That’s for the NES, manufactured from 1985-1992. It does not work on modern LCD/LED/Plasma televisions. It is also corded, which means that he couldn’t bring it more than eight feet from the console.

So... doubtful.

Dear God, what a horror for this family. I pray God comforts them and relieves their sorrow. What a travesty.

I don’t know what kind of neighborhood this is but it appears this “cop” was primed for something.
