Cops shoot woman dead after standoff...

Since we are talking about cops behaving badly, what do you think about this case?

PiKA2001 · #2 06-21-2010, 09:08 PM

Umm, I don't know. Did she shoot herself or was it the police?

That you shouldn't wave a gun around in front of the cops?

Not even waving but POINTING! Maybe she wanted suicide by cop? I'd be interested in the location of her gunshot wound, might shed some light on if she shot herself or not.

Yeah this is not a story I can really comment on because it's in progress. And pretty standard for a standoff AFAIK.

You all did catch the part about her being in there 5 hours before the cops went inside right? So far there is no way to tell if she would have survived her injuries if they proceeded immediately

Yeah, after they didn't hear from her anymore. If she shot herself, they had no way to know. If she was shot they also had no way to know.

Not really going to take the husband's word for it here, biased to say the least.

Only if it isn't on the torso. But cops shoot for the torso usually and most women commit suicide the same way so who knows.

Yes, but that was SOP for a stand off. She had at least one firearm. they weren't going to go in unless they had no other choice.

Especially without knowing if there was anyone else in there. It's unclear if there was since the articles don't have info.

I edited this for clarity.

I don't want people to read your post to mean that most women who attempt and commit suicide use a firearm. As you know, men are more likely to use a firearm than women are.

I wasn't really paying attention, but the title of the thread is a bit misleading.

At the least speculative.

^^^^
It is

I'm still trying to figure out how the cops here were behaving badly?

Speculation: the 5 hours thing
