Reply #85: Since she was shooting at the police, I believe they have a right to shoot her. [View All]

I've worked at a few police departments. They really aren't the enemy. I notice some people here have called them oinkers just because they are the police. Gee, that's a pretty unsophisticated blanket statment. There are good and bad cops. Most are fine and are doing their job.

If you don't like the job the police do, vote for a different mayor. Typically the mayor controls the police department.

I remember the first day I worked at Edmonds police dept in Edmonds, WA. The cop I was assigned to was sick because he just had to clean up after a fatal traffic accident. I mean pick up the severed body parts, in this case fingers.

Cops do a lot of good. They usually respond to calls. Warrants are issued by judges and it's a tough job serving them because of DUMBSHITS like this lady who want to shoot at anyone who walks up their walk way.

It's unlikely the police were banging down her door on an occasion where they are serving a warrant. Usually they knock. Banging through the door takes a court order, in which case there is usally a good reason brought before a judge to bang down the door first. It isn't just the police deciding they like to break through doors. Generally they don't. It puts them in danger and most have families-kids etc. Hey, I have cops in my family. They like to come home safe to their familys.

This woman was clearly in the wrong. She was shooting at the cops. They should shoot back. Who knows who else she would have shoot. Does she shoot anyone who enters her yard?

Basically I don't see where her getting shot is an issue. I dont' blame the cops a bit. If she didn't want them in her house she could have not answered the door, and called the police dept and told them way. Most precints can get the police officers on the phone who are at a home pretty quick. She however decided to solve it with violence and tried to kill 3 cops. Thank god they took her out.

Btw, it's most likely the door got kicked down when they went in there AFTER she shot at them. Serving a warrant doesn't include kicking down doors.
