damn that raises a big question. Wonder if anyone has brought that to the attention of the officers lawyer?

I don't think Wii has duck hunt

I wonder if the officer is thinking, "Atari, I Atari."

I do not disagree with you at all, where as i can say the same with my profession. I just know a lot of people get all up in arms about an officer involved shooting, but have never been in that position before.

True.. And as many on here know, I have friends that are police officers, and am far from the typical FTP'r..

BTW..

How much longer will Americans tolerate the shield of “qualified immunity” that allows police officers to put their lives before those of the citizens they are allegedly sworn to protect? This shooting comes on the heels of the decision to put the eight Los Angeles police officers responsible for firing 103 shots at two women in a pickup truck delivering newspapers back on the streets with no punishment.

I am getting really fed up with it, personally.

The odds of getting killed by a cop just keep on rising, this shit is fucking ridiculous.

LOL @ the puns! My brother in law (and longtime friend from here) is now a DPD, as is Jeremy's best friend of 20 years. I was raised in a Chicago Firefighter family.

That said, just like doctors/nurses/any service person in a crisis, they KNOW they've chosen that line of duty and come 2nd - or should. Period. Her gun being so quickly drawn amazes me.

Her not stating that she was "the cops" probably doesn't help her case. Even for the slightest neighborly dispute that a cop had to tap on my door - they ALWAYS called that out FIRST. Messed up to say the least.

I rented a room from a friend once. During that time I was on the other side of that door, with someone banging on it, while their thumb covered the peep hole and they remained silent other than the banging. I stood there with a Glock in my hand to the side of the man opening the door. I can only imagine what would have happened had I not been able to stash the pistol before the officer saw me when I saw that it was a leo.

Why would a cop do that? Someone doing that is going to raise the hell out my suspicions and CAUSE me to get a gun. I don't even answer my door 90% of the time when I CAN see someone out there knocking on it. I also disabled my doorbell so if the big sign I have telling solicitors to leave me alone is ignored isn't effective I still don't even know they're there.

While what you say is true, they chose that profession, and to hold the lives of others in their hands. They should err to the side of not murdering innocent civilians. Yes that means they may be more at risk, but again, they took that job voluntarily.
