September 27, 20169 yr Fair enough. As to the bolded, I never said it was "conveinient", but in situations like this when it isn't, you can understand why some may feel it wasn't just an accident, can't you? Why are police officers always doubted first and proven correct in how they handled the situation second? I know there are some bad actors in law enforcement but come on, they handle most situations correctly by an almost perfect margin. With the way they have been disrespected lately, why would anyone choose to have this job for a career? I read an article that they were lowering requirements on applications to the academy. How does lowering standards give us a more highly trained officer?

How does lowering standards give us a more highly trained officer? For me, whether it's an officer or anyone else, any time there's a loss of life I think it's the right thing to do to figure out if the situation could've been handled differently that would've prevented that loss of life.

It's a shame the Supreme Court of the United States did not agree with you in 1973.:no:

September 27, 20169 yr Which has exactly what do to with the topic at hand? You were speaking so eloquently about the saving of lives and every abortion stops a beating heart.
September 27, 20169 yr Must have missed the part where the law considered an unborn child a life. While morally, I may agree with you, we're talking about whether a death is a legally justified loss of life. In the case of abortion, legally it is.
September 27, 20169 yr Seems like the book .. I mean gun , found on the deceased was stolen in a B and E .

While morally, I may agree with you, we're talking about whether a death is a legally justified loss of life. In the case of abortion, legally it is. http://www.ncsl.org/research/health/fetal-homicide-state-laws.aspx Love how some laws consider it a life and some don't. It you intentional murder the baby via abortion it is Ok, but if someone else kills it, it is fetal homicide.

While morally, I may agree with you, we're talking about whether a death is a legally justified loss of life. In the case of abortion, legally it is. I think the Roe vs.Wade decision has hurt us as a nation. An unborn child has been refused the life he or she is entitled to. So you state the unborn life can be legally taken? How can one life be valued more highly than another? Any life lost is one too many.

September 28, 20169 yr Stolen gun. Threatened to kill his wife and child and had physical assaulted them. Restraining order. According to wife had threated the police and called himself "a killer". Had a gun at the scene and was evidently in his hand at the time of the shooting. Ignored police commands.

If so, we're done. If not, we've got a problem. The rest just tells us the family was misleading us but, in the end, immaterial.
