    Since the incident, both officers have been placed on administrative leave, according to the sheriff’s office. The sheriff’s department and local district attorney are investigating, and the case is being referred to a grand jury.

    They shot a woman in her own home. Just fucking arrest them and charge them with a crime. Holy fucking shit why is it so hard for this country to put a cop behind bars?

    Bullshit. They just wanted an excuse to shoot a random Black person. Wouldn’t be surprised if the attempted murder was a gang initiation. Police gangs are very much a real thing.

        Ugh, that’s so fucking infuriating. Don’t want to look at the footage for my own mental health, but I’m sure it’s bad.

      They were female cops. Not saying they’re any better or less of a psychopathic racist, but police gangs are usually male and female cops report violence or harassment from male colleagues, but they never open their eyes. They just want it to reform to be violent to civilians without internal misogyny. They’re still part of the overall thin blue line, but not the internal gangs

      Cops definitely do that shit in general, but from the footage it looks like they were jumpy as hell and mag-dumped at the first sign of movement. Not that it makes it any better for the victim

      SWAT 4 taught me to use fiber optic cameras and tear gas and stuff to avoid things like this lol, even our games are fash cop propaganda now. imagine an FPS where you get penalized for using your guns, it would never happen these days lol.
