    This whole story was ridiculous—the cops were completely in the wrong. They were responding to a call in one apartment and were told a different apartment had a window broken. They went to check it out, and this was their reaction. The woman they shot at was a friend of the apartment tenant.

    The friend was shot 5 times and is lucky to be alive. These cops should never be allowed to touch a gun again.

      Sorry, but if this happened where I live, the officers would be on trial on multiple accounts.

        There is an investigation in progress, and the evidence is going to be handed over to a grand jury. This is a recent incident that is still unfolding.

          That’s a whole lot of faith for a system that routinely declines to prosecute cops who kill people in the exact same circumstances.

            I didn’t say I had faith in the system, I simply said what is happening. The end result is not yet known, and you are correct that there isn’t a great track record of police accountability in America.

              That’s the problem though. It’s always, “wait for the investigation” and then a year later it’s “we investigated ourselves and found nothing wrong.”

                Yes, I agree, it is a problem. I’m not arguing against you in the slightest. I have done nothing other than say the facts of what is occurring here.

                There is a problem with police accountability in America, these cops were irresponsible, and an investigation is ongoing. I’m not sure what else you expect me to say that isn’t speculation or opinion.
