A tragic story of police negligence emerges out of Gastonia, North Carolina this week. A mother of two was killed by cops after she called 9-1-1 for help.

Police say Betty Sexton called them for help so police could remove two intruders from her home that she shared with her boyfriend....

According to Kennedy, her boyfriend told police that the gun was not loaded or functioning, and when the cops ordered her to put the weapon down, she cooperated.

Despite complying with the officers’ orders, Officer LaDoniqua Neely shot Sexton, killing her.

Gastonia again?! It's not that big of a place.

and the officer's name is LaDoniqua Neely!!

1. Yeah, don't solve a problem; shoot it! High-fives all around, officers.

Jesus, what a fucked-up profession the police institution is turning into.

Keystone Kops with greater firepower and a higher body count...

2. The DOJ did good work here in NM

and now I understand they're suing the Ferguson PD.

It's starting slowly, but the worst departments are starting to be confronted by the fact that forefeiture laws might have made them fat, but they didn't make them judge, jury and executioner.

The DOJ has a lot of work to do.

3. More proof police don't hire higher IQ's

All it takes is a quick trigger finger.

4. The same goes for prison corrections...too high a score, too intelligent, and you will not be hired.

Same with the psychological testing..too high in the "empathy" scale and no way you get a job....the whole rationale is to prevent high turnover....too intelligent and compassionate? You might quit!

5. Defense attorney says no problem.

But a defense attorney we talked to last week thinks the officer is in the clear.

"You can just never point a gun at a police officer," says attorney Tony Scheer. "That's the bottom line."

The cops are killing people at an alarming rate in that town. For purposes of comparison, the last cop to fall in the line of duty in that town died in 1948.

8. Oh, you're just out to get her because she's from NC

For those of you just joining us, the flag to his left is that of South Carolina, which tends to maintain a rivalry with its northern neighbor. Pickens is a small town in SC.

9. not my fault you're from the wrong Carolina

12 degrees warmer here so thppppppt!

[KamaAina]

10. Out here we spell it "California".

edit: I do, however, have several Tar Heel friends who would consider that a warm and valued compliment.

[11 Bravo]

11. Sorry, Ace. There is only ONE "Carolina", and it's ...

the one up north. You have your Heels and you have your Cocks. I was admitted to both. It was an easy choice. (UNC class of '74)
(But I fucking LOVE Isle of Palms and Charleston, so there's always that.)

[blm]

13. heheh….

North Carolina is ALWAYS on top of South Carolina.

7. Jeez! Who you gonna call for help when calling 911 is dangerous?

[Liberal_in_LA]

12. depressing

[valerief]

14. Why do cops keep getting 911 calls mixed up with target range practice?

Something in their personality profiles?

15. "Gastonia Police have already shot and killed three people so far this year." -- February 19, 2015

As of 2010,[1] there were 71,741 people, 27,770 households, and 18,599 families residing in the city.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastonia,_North_Carolina#Population

So, about three times the size of the suburb that I live in (where I'm not sure police have ever killed anyone).
