In this case it is less of a gender thing and more of an “out of control wannabe SWAT team members who don’t realize that the police shows they watch on tv aren’t documentaries” thing.

In the real non-government world of the private sector, the government would ID you, plaster your pic all over the papers, publicly discredit you anyway possible, dig deep in your background, and drag you through 30 years of courts and violent prison...They'd also seize your assets and loot everything you ever had..

If the scum bags take everything a man has, and give him no hope for anything ever again, what does a man like that do sometimes? Falling down maybe?

Gee.

I guess video games really *do* cause violence and death, after all.

The most important thing is that she got home safely so that she could update her status on Facebook. No dogs were killed, so the police have that going for them. Killing kids is just one of those things that people need to get used to, it’s the price of staying safe.

Soon it will be open season on cops. This will not end well.

Renee Vance, the aunt of Mr. Roupe, left a lengthy comment on another websites forum in regards to the murder of her nephew. Mr. Roupe apparently had a Wii controller in his hand because he was getting ready to watch a movie when the cops showed up. He asked “who is it?” when the cops knocked on the door, but nobody responded, according to Vance.

The female cop already had her gun drawn when Mr. Roupe opened the door and gave him no warning to drop the [controller]. The 13-year-old sister of Mr. Roupe, who was crying, went to hug and/or comfort her dying brother when the female cop pointed the gun at her and told her to “shut up.”

Those eyes...if she were a horse, I wouldn’t walk behind her.

She should do The Honorable Thing, now.

Cops had wrong address. Planted dope to cover their butts.

It was her and another officer — though she did the shooting. There were two of them — so the cover-up was a conspiracy.

And to date they still haven’t produced the dangerous thing he had in his hand.

Oh I can see how a highly trained seasoned police officer could mistake a game controller for an AK-47 machine gun ... got him before he could press the kill button!!!

“She put her head in her hands and she was sobbing,”

“The peasant put his head in his hands and he was sobbing,” said the prosecutor as he threw the book at him.

Note to peasant: Next time, be wearing your Magic Brown Costume or Magic Blue Costume! Then, it will be All Good!

Multiple procedure violations by the officer. However, the root of the problem is probably an affirmative action hiring followed by lax training to ensure she qualified for the field. Police are in full CYA mode trying to mitigate damages that will come from a settlement or civil trial. Saddest thing is that two lives are ruined forever.

OH EM GEE DUDE, OMG. Good find.

So, she’s nuts, this is what she’s proclaiming to the world. She states, in public, that sometimes she can’t focus, because “the little weirdo that lives inside [her]..is off her meds”.

That’s great, just great.

You are right, this is an attorney’s dream come true. The deposition questions just write themselves!

So that’s the kid? He was white? We’ll never hear 2 words about this again from the MSM.

RIP poor fellow, whatever you or your father did your life should not have been ended in such a dreadful manner.

This is an outrage and citizens have been programmed to let the police decide if the cop did the wrong thing. This wasn’t an accident.

Good grief! The hiring standards must be too low to measure.

Multiple procedure violations by the officer.

Would inconsistent statements be one of them?

Great info, thanks!

"The Daily Tribune News reported that the young man survived the initial shot, but bled to death waiting for paramedics to arrive. Both the killer cop and the one accompanying her were rewarded for the kill with paid vacations, aka “paid administrative leave.”

Ummmm, were the paramedics delayed by the cops or higher ups so the victim/witness would die and not be able to testify? I'd hate to think officials would go that far to cover-up what really happened.

“In this case it is ...more of an “out of control wannabe SWAT team members...”

Check out post #17, I don’t think we can say this woman has a SWAT team mentality, her issues are of another variety.

Which is worse - who can say?
