Police Misconduct Catch All Thread

The point is she put herself in harm's way by living with an armed felon. Take stupid risks, sometimes something bad happens.
Oh ffs: she broke up with the felon. Booted him out long before she was murdered in her own bed. Neither of us have a timeline for their relationship so as far as either of us know, he appeared to be a stand up guy when they got together and she dumped him as soon as she smelled a rat.

Besides which, you are ignoring the FACT that the police lied to get their warrant had the suspect in custody at the time. Or the fact that incompetent and dishonest police

practices would have put into danger the lives of any subsequent tenant in that apartment and any neighbor of that apartment—as they put into danger the lives of neighbors that night.

All of whuch I’ve typed out before. You just cannot get over your hard on for defeusing police and for killing unarmed black people—double points if they are women and black.
Yeah, but note the status of the guy she was with.

I have a big problem with how warrants are handled, but she's nothing like innocent.
OH MY GOD: A person dates someone who turns out to be not so great. They break up.
She deserves death.

WTF
LP’s argument , distilled to its essence, is anyone who does not meet his standard if “innocence “ deserves whatever outcome the police mete out. While notion that a lack of pure innocence is a valid excuse for the killing of an uninvolved unarmed civilian by the police is an authoritarian’s wet dream, it should be a nightmare to a decent person.

No, YOU note the actual situation: Police were looking for a felon who did not live at that address and had not lived there for some time. The felon was in custody. The police fucked up. Someone who was not a police officer died. Note: this happens MUCH more frequently than police being shot by their suspect or some other person.
The police lied to get their warrant. Which technically makes the warrant illegal, which means they were committing a crime even by entering. Hence Walker had every right to shoot at them (his charges were dismissed with prejudice). Since Ms. Taylor's death occurred while the police were engaged in criminal behavior, they should have been charged with felony murder. Hmmm.


Got some evidence as to those numbers?
. What numbers do you refer to?

Illegally entering a hone us a felony.
The officers that entered didn't know about the lie.

Assuming that is true, it doesn’t negate the fact the warrant was illegally obtained and they had no right to be there.

Doesn’t change the facts: they were supposedly looking for someone already in custody. They killed a sleeping woman. They endangered the lives of neighbors in other apartments.

Sorry our mistake might mean a lot more if the police did not double down by attempting to prosecute someone for believing his home was being invaded by someone armed and dangerous. Turns out, he was right.
 
I'm saying "unarmed" includes people trying to grab the officer's stuff. (I won't say gun because we do have a case where the cop shot because the guy got his taser.) I am not saying all unarmed cases are trying to grab the officer's stuff, just that many are.
If someone is grabbing for a weapon they are unarmed at the time. If they are called, then the officer is armed and may have time to take nonlethal measures.
So your argument is pretty flimsy as an excuse.
Officer grabs his taser, perp grabs his gun. Officer is dead.
Your imaginary scenario is missing a few intermediate steps and ignores a crucisl caveat which makes your response moot.
What steps? If the cop goes for his taser that is basically relinquishing control of the gun the guy was going for.
It's very difficult for someone else to remove an officer's firearm while it is still holstered. They are designed to prevent exactly that. I've seen one officer say he actually has to put on his gun belt to remove the gun from the holster.

Level 1 retention is the most basic level of retention and is designed to prevent accidental discharges. Holsters at this level typically use a friction fit to hold the firearm in place, with no additional locking mechanisms. These holsters are suitable for officers who need quick and easy access to their firearm.
Level 2 retention holsters incorporate an additional locking mechanism, such as a thumb break or a rotating hood, to prevent unauthorized removal of the firearm. These holsters are suitable for officers who may encounter situations where someone may try to disarm them, such as during an arrest.
Level 3 retention holsters have the highest level of retention and incorporate multiple locking mechanisms to prevent unauthorized removal of the firearm. These holsters are suitable for officers who work in high-risk environments, such as SWAT teams or tactical units. The level of retention required for a holster depends on the officer’s job responsibilities and the likelihood of encountering situations where the firearm could be grabbed by an assailant.

You been informed of this several times already.
