Put yourself in her position having just “accidentally” killing that young man. She will NEVER be the same. . .

___________________________________________________________

She will be the same. Her incompetence will mean that she can murder again.

She should be in jail or out on bond. There is no way to justify killing an innocent. Not because he lived at a trailer park, not because his father has an outstanding warrant, nothing.

Cops justify killing by saying they just want to go home at night. If they are too afraid to stand at a door without pulling the trigger when it opens they need to be in another line of work. Their desire to go home at night does not trump my or your right to go home at night or to stay alive. They do this again and again and then lawyer up and cover for each other. They are criminals. Let me repeat that to make sure I made myself clear THEY ARE CRIMINALS!

That still does not mean it wasn’t a crime.

You forgot the one where that she ‘heard the action of a firearm’ right before he opened the door. This cop deserves the medal of honor for facing all of those challenges.

She has super ears and xray vision to hear and see behind closed doors.

The Euharlee police dept went to serve a violation of probation warrant for a misdemeanor.

I have gone over and over this story with the two siblings of Christopher and there was not BB gun pulled on the officer.

Christopher had gotten up to put in a movie and had the wii remote in his hand so that he could start the movie.

There was a knock on the door and Christopher said who is it. No one answered him so he opened the door with the wii remote still in his hand.

The female officer already had her gun drew and saw the remote, assumed it was a weapon and shot my nephew in the chest. She never said put down your weapon she just shot.

The male officer told the female officer to put her gun away because it was only a remote control. She didn’t.

Christophers little sister started towards Christopher because he had already fell to the floor so this female officer pointed her gun at my niece who by the way is 13 Years old and told her to shut up and stay where she was.
