    So the cop gets two days to get his story straight before being questioned and his name is not released which gives him time to scrub all his social media. Then the investigation is led by his buddies in the police department. Same **** as usual.

    That's an understatement...he didn't even finish giving the warning.

    Confirming the women's welfare is no longer on the list of police priorities when they perform a welfare check. The modern militarized police are only looking for bad guys to search and destroy. If there's no criminal to get, why'd you call the police?

    This isn't a mistake or a rookie with a poor temperament. Police are trained to assume that there is someone around every corner waiting to get you, and if you aren't ready to get them first, your child will grow up fatherless. Shooting innocents is the unspoken price to protect your own safety, and your own safety overrides all other priorities. Paranoia and worry is drilled into them constantly.

    They released the body cam immediately. I think you should be able to scrub your ish. Cops dont make enough money to be subject to that.

    Whatever he has written on social media has nothing to do with this shooting

    I know, I think it is their training to sneak around house looking for capture over announcing presence and knocking on door. Like @B-Bob, I have an anecdote where cops did exactly that to me once, when I was house-watching for neighbor and I set off alarm when entering to feed dogs. Was all thumbs trying to turn it off in 30 seconds (typing wrong number then not knowing you have to wait 5sec to try again or sumpin), security company called but I didn’t know where secret code was (bottom of phone, duh) then going back to my place to get instructions...left front door ajar. After I got alarm turned off, HPD arrived (just one) and we turned a corner of the house face-to-face with her having gun drawn to her side. That was shockingly scary. Good thing I'm white and it was daytime.

    fwiw: that was early ‘90s.

    That's why I suggest implementing very simple communication technology to give 911 Dispatchers the ability to ring the homeowners landline or cellphone as part of response.

    Sure, that could tip off the intruders and your capture-rate is lowered, but every other scenario increases safety for homeowners and responders.

    People getting upset and rightfully so...but maybe we should chill on the 'he'll get off/conspiracy' stuff. I think the guyger trial shows more and more that cops aren't above the law...hell she didn't even have a body cam and she got 10 years. I'd be surprised if this person, who we'll find out soon, doesn't get at least 10...probably more since it won't be a young, not-unattractive, white woman that will be on trial.

    I'm actually in agreement with CometsWin. You have some of the stupidest takes on issues when I read your posts that I question if you're trolling sometimes. The fact that you could be sincere in your thoughts is just...well...let's just say it makes me reflect on this bit.

    Hope media or congressmen could force NBA players to talk about this. This is definitely a familiar and relevant topic.

    We don't force anyone talk about issues in America. Unlike your communist government.

    The have more rights to kill civilians than civilians do so yeah, i'd say if you have that kind of power you should be held to a higher standard.

    Many corporate employees get fired for horrible online activity.

    What situation would a rank and file corporate employee have millions looking at their social media. That wouldn't happen if they were charged with murder.

    If you want any good people to keep becoming officers than you shouldn't look for public trials by fire before investigations if something unfortunate happens
