I’d like to know how these clowns get hired as cops in the first place.

Hard to get good cops in a lot of places after all the attacks on cops.

Not a thing. Show me ALL the attacks on cops. So many get into these jobs only to fear for their lives. You know where I don't fear for my life? Sitting in front of a computer.

I am sorry but you can’t not threaten to throw boiling water on someone as boiling water is in your hand. Yes, it was in her hand has she said it. She let go and hid as she said sorry. The cop gave multiple warnings. She continued on and took it as a joke. Now both of their lies are gone.

You clearly did not watch the video if that was your take! He's the one who told her to go near the water. He was about 10 feet away. Then he makes the comment, in a half-joking, half-condescending tone, about her throwing water and how she better not. That's why she said the Jesus comment, matching his tone. At no point was she a threat to the guy who was far away and if he still was so scared by hot water could have just backed a couple feet off! There was absolutely no justification to shoot. She was on the ground when he shot her and she could not have reached him with any hot water even if she tried (which she did not, she was saying sorry!)

Odd they said they were worried about fire,it would take a long time for that pot to boil away and even then it would be a hot pot on the burner. As a sometimes absent minded cook I've burned enough rice or beans to know that. I am puzzled about first degree charges but don't know the criminal code specifically where this happened

In a political environment that is so polarized, how will our nation's politicians address this murder?

I think it is for our judicial system to address this murder. Not for politicians.

There should be legislation in place that problematic cops fired from one department, cannot be fired into another.

This would have prevented this murder.

A quick reminder that police have very active and strong unions, which is main reason departments have difficulty ditching bad cops.

If you are pro-union in public sector, this is what you wanted.

We need a healthy and safe police force that protects all of us. I’m White. I’ve never had to worry about calling the police and I say on every one of these threads that that should be a basic tenet of modern society, not a privilege. It’s pretty clear that some laws need to be passed around policing and that oversight needs to be moved from within the force to outside of it.

For example: the Washington Post ran an article a month or so ago about all the police officers who sexually abuse children who are entrusted to their care. It was disgusting. Read it and literally weep, so many children broken by officers in whom trust, whether implicit in the basic relationship between officer and citizens or explicit as in sometimes the police were supposed to be acting as mentors, had been placed. https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/interactive/2024/police-officers-child-sexual-abuse-in-america/?itid=mr_1

Eh. I mean, I understand implicit bias—but I don’t think that’s as big of a thing as the media narrative makes it out to be. Like, being afraid of calling the police specifically because you’re black.

I’m white and I am somewhat wary of calling the police—because you never know what kind of officer you’re going to get. And there’s quite a bug culture of “shoot first ask questions later”. Pretty sure when they do police training they drill that into you by showing recruits the dashcam video of a deputy pulling someone over without drawing his gun and calmly engaging him, only to be shot and killed.

Being white doesn’t protect you; ask Christian Glass, Hunter Brittain, Justine Damond, etc.

I think there just needs to be a bigger change in police culture.

NP - while I can understand your perspective, I think as a white person it’s inappropriate to dismiss the issue as media hype. I am white, but my husband is a non-black POC who grew up poor. Until I met him, I always took for granted that police, emergency rooms, etc were resources to use without a thought, He does not see the police as an ally or safe resource despite now being UMC in a safe suburb. He has explained to me that growing up, police were not their friends. Even now, seeing the difference in treatment that his family receives at hospitals or in interactions with officials, I can understand why they would not put their trust in them. I have had some of my privilege stripped away by marrying him (I now have an ethnic last name) - the treatment based on my name v in-person interaction is quite different - but I am still aware that his experience and mine differ. Something to consider

Media narrative?
How about reality, the one Black people have been living with for decades. What hubris to think because you don’t experience or see it it is not real!
You should be ashamed.

Why was he indicted for 1st degree murder? It wasn’t premeditated. I’d understand 2nd degree. He did seem like a hothead and used nothing he learned at the academy. He didn’t attempt to de-escalate; he didn’t attempt to use less than lethal; there was a counter in between them (there was no imminent danger); and as a nice touch, he had a skull tattoo on his arm.

I saw the video this afternoon and it is horrible. This isn't about arresting an officer, there should be a systematic overhaul of our police departments. There is no reason this murderer should have gotten a job policing anyone and anywhere.

The murderer had 6 police jobs in 4 years. Someone knew something about this guy and covered it up.
