Lots to think about in this case... and many sides to the story.
Drugs were found in the house -
Did the Police know that there was a small child present?
What were the exact circumstances behind the shooting? Was the mother pointing a gun at police while holding her child, or with her child very close?
We just don’t know enough. But I will venture to say that the young mother was not innocent - not that that in ANY way earns the penalty of a child getting shot. But if the police were acting according to the rules - and doing their best to control the situation - then screw the PC race-baiters and give the cops a break. But if they were acting carelessly - that is another story.
But I also have a question... Where were these neighbors screams for justice when drugs were being dealt from that house? OR were they the customers?
Thanks Battman, I’m taking a beating on this one. And What I was meaning was precisely what you said.
I do think there are far too many swat teams around but that is not the point here.
The point here is that crack was in the home with many many children. As a mother she should have protected her children from this kind of crap. She didn’t and suffeered as a result of not doing her job as a mother.
I never said she got what was coming as some have indicated.
