No amount of evil smileys or derogetory words can adequately describe how I feel about this. But thank you, OP, for posting a hint of the future.

The future? No, welcome to reality. For decades cops have gotten away with unjustifiable shootings, all around the U.S. Do you have proof that there are more wrongful police shootings now than say 1993? Or by future do you mean that for once minorities arn't the only ones targeted? So she's a WHITE girl that got raped, then shot. How is that any worse, or more disgusting than a 23 year old black man getting shot for holding a screw driver while he worked on his own car? You think Rodney King was just a random thing?
This is reality, sad as it is, that's the case. When people talk of how cops are becoming more vicious, or turning into a paramilitary force ovbiously you have never researched the history of law enforcement starting in the early 1900's.
To whoever metioned cops having expert training, and knowing hand to hand combat. You watch too many movies, they are rent-a-cop grade failed jocks that earn more money. Before you say I'm defending the cops actions in this case, realize that I'm not.

If some drug addled lunatic was trying to stab and kill you, you'd shoot them, no?

First, she wasn't drug addled, she's wasn't a lunatic, and there is no evidence that she tried to stab them.
And even if she did try to stab them with a little pocket knife, its an 18 year old girl, goddamnit! What's the matter?
You seem to be justifying this, no?
I can't even believe you just said that.

She said she was drugged, she was acting like she was drugged, and she attacked her own mother with a knife.
A hopped up drug addled lunatic who stabbed her mother after a night of partying attacks some cops and ends up dead.
I can't beleive anyone thinks drug crazed lunatics can run around the street trying to stab people and shouldn't get shot.

Why are you pressing so vainly to spin this story?
She was drugged, yes, but not as a lunatic fringe as you describe
as drugged with pharmaceuticals that render her either immobile, or unconscious in whole. Now, you tell me, after coming out of a date rape drug stupor, do you REALLY think a girl is going to be a threat to cops with batons, pepper, and friggen electricity on a string?
And the bit about stabbing her mother, I will assume you've never dealt with a rape victim to any depth. Her slashing her mother was a sub-conscious reaction to being embraced,
C'mon Nygdan, you're reaching to a sub level with the drugged up lunatic crap.

That's so sad. Damned trigger-happy pigs. They should be made example of!

Not once in the foot, to slow her down, not once in the shoulder to make her
drop the knife, 23 times. They should burn. Its pretty obvious to see this.

I'm disgusted. There are good cops out there, but many are trigger happy war-mongers that I would be scared to fight next to in Iraq, never mind them patrolling our streets.
