This whole story was ridiculous—the cops were completely in the wrong. They were responding to a call in one apartment and were told a different apartment had a window broken. They went to check it out, and this was their reaction. The woman they shot at was a friend of the apartment tenant.

The friend was shot 5 times and is lucky to be alive. These cops should never be allowed to touch a gun again.

Sorry, but if this happened where I live, the officers would be on trial on multiple accounts.

There is an investigation in progress, and the evidence is going to be handed over to a grand jury. This is a recent incident that is still unfolding.

That's a whole lot of faith for a system that routinely declines to prosecute cops who kill people in the exact same circumstances.

[-] WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 8 months ago

I didn’t say I had faith in the system, I simply said what is happening. The end result is not yet known, and you are correct that there isn’t a great track record of police accountability in America.

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 12 points 8 months ago

That's the problem though. It's always, "wait for the investigation" and then a year later it's "we investigated ourselves and found nothing wrong."

[-] WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 8 months ago

Yes, I agree, it is a problem. I’m not arguing against you in the slightest. I have done nothing other than say the facts of what is occurring here.

There is a problem with police accountability in America, these cops were irresponsible, and an investigation is ongoing. I’m not sure what else you expect me to say that isn’t speculation or opinion.

Let's stop giving them extra rights.
