Getting so very tired of these stories...

The neighbor just was worried about her. It's the cops fault for shooting her without giving her even a reasonable time to respond to strangers at her window at 2:30am. It's in no way the neighbors fault.

@SW-User I don't blame the neighbor either! I'm just saying I'd sooner call a crack head if I needed help at this point. Cops today have one gear, if it moves shoot it! If they ask questions later, say we found a gun..

I agree. It's a total tragedy. But I gotta' say. I do NOT believe that race is at play. I have a strong suspicion he would have shot if that woman was white. It might have been a bad area where there was a lot of crime and he was amped to the place of not considering all the options. He clearly made an enormous mistake. Either way, a bad scene.

@Ynotisay Race may not not be in play but I'd like to know if steroids are...

And the cop who murdered this woman will never spend a day in jail and the investigation will take over a year..
You or i would be sitting in jail right now and we'd be convicted for murder in a few months..

But the killer was wearing a magic blue suit so he's going to get away with it..

@SW-User Why would citizens need to be armed when we have the police to protect us??

If you can see your neighbor's door is open, why not go over there and yell?

"Yoo hooo! Everyone okay? Your door has been open for hours?"
THEN if there's no response, you call cops!

But at least the call was to the non emergency line as a concerned person worried about neighbors.

This was supposed to be just a Welfare Check!

At no point does the cop identify himself, they don't knock on the door, the lights are on!
The cop yells and shoots!

It is just a Welfare Check,
NOT a crime in progress call!

@Valerian so sad, for nothing.

@Justenjoyit Yeah.. no kidding! Won't even get an apology from the cops I'll bet.
