I tend to smile at the wrong things and laugh at odd intervals ...

She said as she put her head in her hands and sobbed.

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

This occurred days ago and this government agency declines to talk about it?

They know the players, they already have the witness statements, they've already collected the evidence....Where do the get the authority or the contemptible arrogance to decline to speak about it? Do they not work for us? Why is this a secret?

They said the teen had a gun at the door...Ok, then where is it? Why have they not confirmed that in a news conference?

Why, according to reports, are the witnesses saying different, that he did not have a gun?

Are they stonewalling hoping they bury the kid quickly? Are they hoping interest in this brutal incident just dies off before going public?

How come in other events the cops, the mayor and all the elected special people are the first ones to run to the cameras for their pat on the back praise fests?

This happened many days ago....Where is statement or news conference about what happened?

I wonder how far the pigs are going to take this lie.

If no gun was found, the office who shot the young man has some serious explaining to do.

A number of factors are at play in these sort of incidents - response time of an ambulance, basically was one readily available, how far out was it and when and how long did it take for the police to declare the scene "secure" for medical assistance to come on in. Being that the poor kid was shot at point-blank range made his chances of survival pretty slim even if he had gotten immediate help right then and there.

A Wii remote looks about as much like a gun as a breadstick.

“Soon it will be open season on cops.”

Brother (or sister), I hope you’re being facetious but I think you are more on than you believe. There are so many laws on the books these days that no matter what you’re doing you could be considered in violation of something if a cop decided to deem it so at a given time. In that environment we are all only walking free so long as some cop having a bad day doesn’t come along and arrest us or worse for any etheraal reason they have at the moment.

GA ping. This is up about 10 miles west of Cartersville.

Does anyone have statistics for shootings per female officer as opposed to male officers?

Maybe the Ukrainians have the right idea. American Spring, anyone? That Tree is mighty thirsty.

Rhetorically speaking, of course.

“when an unidentified officer arrived at the family mobile home to execute”
It looks to me thats exactly what she set out to do!
Maybe, if the family had a dog, that would have been suffice.
May God Bless Christopher Roupe and ease the family’s pain!

Whose life is ruined? The boy is dead and gone. The cop will be cleared, decorated, and promoted and in addition, she now has street creds. So, again, which two lives?

Holy s**t, the family’s lawyers must be on cloud 9 right about now. As in someone buying their first lottery ticket and winning a 130 million dollar powerball game jackpot.

What I have to help notice is that the numbers of wholly unqualified folks serving as police is going up at a truly scarily high rate. So when agitators, including, to be sure, some right here on FR, call for more morality laws, I have to ask, what makes you conceivably think the police we have now are anywhere near prepared to enforce laws we have now, much less any new laws?

I don’t know what you mean by morality laws, but I don’t think we need any more laws and we certainly don’t need any more cops like this ditzy dame.

I think it is pretty across the board - all occupations are suffering from sub-par hires. The culture we have deteriorated into isn't producing the sort of mature, knowledgeable, squared-away people in the numbers that could keep a society functionally healthy. From personal experience, I can tell you that I have known a number of guys & gals that would be outstanding in law enforcement, but they simply don't see anything rewarding in it for them. They don't like the direction LE has shifted towards, but it is frustrating since THEY could be the ones who could shift it back to where it needs to be. Then there is turnover - there's competent people who did it for 5-7 years, concluded that profession wasn't for them and bailed out. Consequently, what is left for the most part are characters who get into LE for all the wrong reasons, make it bad and keep it that way. The bad part is that you end up having to wait until they leave a trail of wreckage before you can get rid of them or else have some union or regulatory agency all over you. That is the part that rubs everyone the wrong way, I mean we're not talking about garbagemen here - LE officials have the power to mess up someone's life, wreck families, even entire communities. It's almost always a wait for something tragic to happen before the bad eggs finally get flushed. I will predict that there is some pretty loopy stuff lurking in Gatney's personnel file that Euharlee PD is going to have to explain.

She was upset, but she did get to go home, so all is well. Right? right????
