I have and I don’t.
Police shouldn't be killing anyone. I don't understand why this is a controversial statement.
We need to find a better way of policing.
I'm not talking about a perfect world. Just every. other. nation.
It only happens here. In the US. We live in a police state. Where police kill citizens with impunity and immunity.

The police could have, and should have tried literally anything else. Anything that wasn't pulling a gun and murdering a citizen. Literally any other response. Why is it always kill kill kill?

You bring up a great point... the US rate of incarceration alone as compared to other developed countries tells us we're doing something terribly wrong here.

Not all these situations are the same and it's really frustrating when you have 2 factions that are always lazy about it. Either ACAB or Blue Loves matter...never looking at each situation.hippiemom = goodness0 -

This type of victim turned suspect is most common in domestic situations. Self defense is used in response to previous violence and stems from fear of future violence based on the cycle repeating itself. It's hard to prove then, even harder in this case. The girl with the knife knows the cops are there so her escalation of the incident while trying to claim self defense would have been completely bullshit.It's a hopeless situation...0 -
What y’all think of this if true? Since most of the time y’all are talking about waiting for all the facts?

Now if this story is true how do I feel about the situation? Pretty fucking heartbreaking. That said would this girl not have gone to jail for life for stabbing and killing the other girl if the cop does not come to her aid?0 -

I have and I don’t.This is a very different situation, and jumping to the conclusion of marching in the streets seems a little premature....since you know, they don’t have all the info or, more likely, don’t care.hippiemom = goodness0
