They just kick in the doors and shoot. What f****** law school taught them that s***! What f****** academy taught them that! You know if you're going to do s*** like that as a cop you deserve to go to the chair or whatever the form of capital punishment is. And that needs to be put in law.
Should the cop who killed mother and child be held accountable? Of course. Will justice be served? Of course not. Not under the Trump regime. The cop will get full immunity.This is the s**tstorm MAGA signed up for.
"Independence police have refused to say exactly what happened — refusing to even answer basic questions about the identities of the victims or their causes of death"
IMO: America needs large & influential accounts on BlueSky to organize an immediate & planned actions to mobilize all of BlueSky to counter Trump's fascist takeover of our Democracy. You & I both know once his fascist regime is in place, it may take decades to reclaim it.
This is about ten minutes from me and it bothers me so much that the police won’t make a comment. There were police everywhere, which is typical for IndepMO.
Every officer is trained in Crisis Intervention (CIT) and clearly do not use it ever.
Great protocol. People are dead. You know there are better ways. Police Departments all over the country are being trained to avoid these kinds of death, and doing so successfully.
What a tragic story. I hope the officer involved is held accountable. There was mention a lot in this story of her mental health. I have to wonder if she wasn't suffering from postpartum. Always chalked up as a "woman is just mentally ill." And then they want to take the child, rather than help.
Calling for wellness checks should be the last resort unless someone is actively suicidal (suicidal thoughts, intent, has the means and ability to carry it out) and refuses to get help. In any other case, getting together a group of relatives and friends to intervene would be the better course.

We are just getting started.
Worse yet---nothing ever changes.
Really depressing.

"Greenfield believes police could have used different methods to de-escalate."
That's an understatement.
