Crime Dallas Officer Kills Man in Apartment "She Thought Was Hers"

[MicroBrew]

What would that change exactly? If you did the same thing and turned yourself in the same way you might not be arrested either. Is it less likely than if you were a cop? Yup

It points to the double standards and privileged that Cops enjoy.
Everyone is Not equal under the law.

Have you read her statement? As far as I know, her agency hasn't released her official statement. Please link me to it.

So you are claiming that the Dallas PD is lying?

Imagine if he refused to open up and called the police, or if she wouldve called for back up and said this guy did something.

This guy had no chance, one way or the other.

can't read that due to me having adblocker, cheapass dallas news wants their coin. but if the chief says what was claimed, then that's all I was asking for. thanks.

 

[Ruprecht]

remember, she shouted 'open up, police!'
that draws an immediate nexus to her occupation and all that it entails.

Are you sure about that? The reporting hasn't been very clear about whether that quote was referring to before the shooting or when the police arrived afterwards.
The guy's direct neighbour seems to have said otherwise.

"I didn't hear any knocking or yelling beforehand, just the shot," she said. "And then the woman's voice calling 911."

sure, just going on what was reported (as many others before had done tbh).
too bad the bitch wasn't wearing a body cam, things would be a lot clearer.
but wait, what if she was wearing one????

T hats what they said in the press conference.

 

[Graves The Elder]

okay then.
she should be held accountable.
the initial outrage was over why she wasn't immediately arrested
and I think I explained IMO why that didn't happen.

If she was
It will surely be restricted from viewing until after the case is settled

Yeah, I just don't think there's really enough information released to make substantial conclusions.

 

[Graves The Elder]

exactly

So, in your informed speculation, is the fact that she wasn't immediately arrested tantamount to the cops trying to get her off? Was that the endgame?

Because that reading doesn't make a lick of sense to me. I see incompetency in response to a bewildering situation that I'm sure everyone at the scene knew would evolve and be settled above their heads in court. If they treated the rest of the crime scene appropriately I'm not going to be hung up on this. I suppose she's a flight risk. Is that what has everyone upset? She was given the chance to run?

I find it reasonable to believe she wasn't exhibiting signs of inebriation if they didn't test her for that, immediately, and others have already said it is poor form for cops to drink while still in uniform-- also "informed speculation". For those who are upset that she may not have been breathalyzed in a timely fashion, I once again find myself confused at what this entails. Whether or not she was drunk ultimately doesn't indicate whether it is manslaughter all the way to first degree. It could be either regardless of her condition, and with regard to manslaughter, I'm not sure it does anything but strengthen her case for a reduced charge.

Cops don't need to be held to a "higher standard" in order to become cops, not with regard to justice for crimes. They need to be held to the same standard. Your concept of cop justice just demonstrates your hatred for cops, and your desire to oppress them with an unequal standard of prosecution.

You refer them to "pigs" regularly. Your mission is one of hate.

You can NOT be talking to me in those last two sentences. Cool yer jets.
Just a point of order, it was I who said it was de rigueur to avoid bars in uniform, not “others”.

And yes, they do need to be held to a higher standard. They are issued a gun by the state. They absolutely have the additional responsibility to eschew intoxicants while armed. The punishment for any firearms offence should therefore be magnified. Give your fucking head a shake.

Fact is this is not a normal arrest or charge. She's going to be charged and arrested but it's being covered by an outside organization and are taking precautions. It's that simple, those are the facts. So why are you asking mundane and retarded questions? Is it because you're trying to bait someone into your ideological trap? Or are you genuinely confused about how these things go?

I was asking questions because Cops usually get two weeks paid leave in situations like these and that's it. But tell you what though..

I WANT you to keep on insulting me. That way, I'll take all of your bile, rudeness, and anger so that it'll keep you out of the clock tower when you have a "bad day".

Bring it on.

 

[Graves The Elder]

Oof

Yeah, they get two weeks paid leave and you stop following or their was more information you conveniently leave out and cry outrage over. It happens all the time. I might be rude but the fact is every fucking time I've clarified myself people coming from your side never want an actual discussion. They want their team to get points. I don't even have a side here. Everyone thinks im so pro Trump despite the fact I'm fairly neutral on the guy. Just because I don't throw a shit fit every time something requires thought I'm against someone or some ideology. It's tiresome. Before you say political leanings don't matter, they most certainly do. Just look at the same posters spewing the same shit, over and over.

I usually just try to find the right moment between the page loading and the blocker loading when you can hit "escape" repeatedly to stop it from loading the page. But that might be way easier.

It seems like you have a high belief that "the right thing will be done" as in, if it's the way we think it is she will get the appropriate prison time. What is it in that makes you believe this so strongly when rarely that is the case? I would argue that most times there are police shootings officers get little to no prison time. Where I agree with you most times is that it isn't called for in many cases or overblown in other cases. However in this specific case here, yes, there is no explanation as to why someone who literally murdered someone at their own house claiming it was an accident isn't behind bars since we all know if I or you did it we'd be in a cell while investigation is happening. With an absurd story no less.

It leads to the distrust and disbelief of cops and the system as a whole when shootings this blatant still treat the officer as if she deserves special treatment or sympathy.

Because 8/10 of the times that anti-cop protesters act outraged at this premature stage the grand jury inquiry either ends up convicting the cop, or demonstrating the outrage to be founded on lies (i.e. Eric Brown).

Bring me your outrage when you have an actual miscarriage of justice. Nobody even really knows what happened, yet, so what makes you believe so strongly that the right thing won't be done? We begin with the presumption of innocence, we investigate, we hold trials, then we choose whether or not to convict. This thread is consumed by a a desire to convict the cops for police abuse and a miscarriage of justice before it has even been realized.

She didn't claim that happened in her statement. Someone else said that.

Yes, witness reports are taken into account at the scene. We have potentially conflicting witness reports.

This messiness is probably part of what contributed to a potential balk mishandling the situation.

I named you as a poster focused on the more rational question of why she wasn't immediately arrested. Sole Survivor is the pig-hunter.
