Detroit police accidentally shoot and kill 7-year-old girl.

[Serris]

Best part is, they were in the wrong apartment.

 

[Luigitoilet]

The cop will keep his job.

 

[Virgilijus]

God, that's horrible. The whole thing was poorly executed from beginning to end.

He will probably resign, I think. Depends on if the people in Detroit read newspa- yeah, he won't get fired.

What a terrible event

It seems there was a tv programme recording it all for a show. I think it's going to be very difficult for the police to lie their way out of this one. The affected family are not guilty in any way, a child just died and the whole affair was handled extraordinarily poorly.

The father didn't even get to be with his daughter in her last moments.

I don't know how you accidentally shoot a little girl. But I feel bad for the cop.

I'm pretty sure it's standard procedure for the police to film the busts/house arrests they do. Just a couple weeks ago there was a bust where the police shot and killed a caged dog, arrested the guy in there and all they found was a negligible amount of weed. That video leaked if you're really interested in seeing cops should a harmless caged animal for no reason.

 

[SuperBowser]

Well that's depressing. But I'd like to think there will be real repercussions when we are talking about a 7 year old child that was killed through a series of failures that are apparently on the police's behalf and nobody else's. How cold do you have to be to lie on a matter like this?

Maybe you shouldn't answer that.

I feel bad for the family. I'll feel bad for the cop after I hear him admit it was his mistake.

The guy shouldn't have even been a cop if he can't distinguish a real threat from a 7-year old kid

You don't know the circumstances he was in.

I couldn't live with myself if I did this, I'm sure he feels the same.

Yeah, I shoulda read the article before posting

:/

That's really sad. I'm sorry.

At least he cares about what he did. I still think he should get his badge taken away or something. All in all he killed a 7 year old child.

 

[victra♥]

that was really horrible. Like what virg said, their whole plan was executed poorly from beginning to end.

"I watched the light go out of her eyes. I seen it."

;_;

 

[Sephiroths Masamune]

The Ironic thing is they were looking for a killer and in the process someone became a murderer.

I feel empathy for both sides.

 

[Mr.Freeman]

I often wonder how one can live with himself knowing he took the life of an innocent child.

Man...

 

[Serris]

The family is suing.

 

[Sephiroths Masamune]

The family is suing.

Put this in the OP.

Dang, I kinda knew that the cover up was fake, horrible.

 

[jamlosingthegame]

That probably IS a nightmare for both sides. They better make sure they know what's inside the house or get their information straight next time.

 

[Dooms]

This is really sad. She didn't deserve that at all... T___T;. I hope the cop atleast gets his badge taken away. Thats a dead little girl... some punishment should be sent.

 

[Professor :3]

Silly pigs.

 

[Mr.Freeman]

Well, at least they're suing.

 

[Greenstreet]

Fieger said videotape of the incident shows that the shooting was not accidental...

Fieger said officers tossed a smoke bomb -- described by police as a "flash bang device" to distract occupants -- into the house, severely burning Aiyana, who was on the couch in the front room with her grandmother. She was then struck in the neck by a bullet fired from outside the house, he said.

Just horrible..

 

[Adell]

when you think about it theirs not much difference between a criminal and a 7 year old girl

 

[Fuelbi]

This is why I lost all trust in the American Justice System a long time ago.

How the hell do you think a 7 year old girl is dangerous. I'm sure that even if they did see a girl and the guy they were chasing was her father or something, I think procedure would call for taking the girl away to child services or something, not killing her

 

[Sephiroths Masamune]

The shoot first ask questions latter approach is never the way to go, look at the deviation.

 

[victra♥]

The family is suing.

good. tsktsk at the cover up though. for shame

I would't the Detroit Police Department (and Detroit in general) a good example of the American Justice System. We did vote Kwame.

 

[Mota]

**** that's horrible, I can;t imagine what the family's feeling.

I would've bet the police would have attempted a cover up.

 

[Adell]

Well, at least they're suing.

:/ from what i've seen, i don't like your posts.

well im taking the case, that should redeem myself right?

"Absolute power corrupts absolutely" -- Voltaire

I think the only way to lessen the frequency of these atrocious tragedies is to actually punish the people responsible. Hold them accountable; 8 years for manslaughter should do it.

This extra training and paid leave and transferring BS the cops like to throw out whenever they get out of line is ineffective because it does not provide an incentive for cops to behave like people.

"Absolute power corrupts absolutely" -- Voltaire

Just wanted to say it was actually Lord Acton who said "All power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely."

 

[Adell]

THIS WHOLE THING STINKS! THEIR IS NO WAY A 7 YEAR OLD SHOULD BE SHOT BY THE COPS. IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE. WHAT POSSIBLE REASON COULD THEY HAVE FOR DOING THIS!?

I WANT THIS COP IN JAIL AND I WANT HIM *****! THIS COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED I BET.

 

[Dark_Ermac]

First family dogs, then innocent men who just so happened to have a gun next to their bed for self-defense, and now 7-year old kids?

. . .

[Pikaville]

^^^^^^^I was gonna say the same thing.

That is so messed up.

The Cop is never going to live that down,the whole thing is really sad.

 

[Yaya]

Congratulations, police of Detroit, you have managed to **** up on a level so major that an innocent girl died and now you have the girl's family, the city of Detroit, all of America, and frankly, everybody in the world who has a soul wanting you lynched.

Vote: The Detroit Police Department

 

[Pluvia]

Wow, reading that article made me really sad.

Poor girl, R.I.P.

 

[UberMario]

That is terrible! ;_;

 

[Mr.Freeman]

what are you doing?

Seems like trolling.

Most don't do role-play, from what I know.

 

[victra♥]
