Police investigate officer who shot Charleena Lyles after he left Taser in locker

Despite her known history, they tried to help her

Well holy mother of shit, they did their jobs as required. Thank fuck for that.

I'm sure you would be screaming that they were racist for refusing to enter her apartment and take her burg report.

Doubt we'd have heard of it, tbh. Nobody would be shot by police in their own home, followed by an elastic story on how much they were attacking.

Do not talk about things you know nothing about.

You want more BLM? This is exactly how you get more BLM.

I wrote a long screed elsewhere but basically this: With no video, we have cops word versus dead person's. And that's bullshit, because we know cops make shit up regularly to cover their own asses. You have a Union rep specializing in it.

So to what degree she presented a lethal threat, we'll never know, because the officer shot her before she could tell her side of events.

Thank you for your service, but go fuck yourself. As a member of the public, I'm fucking tired of bullshit excuses from LEO that to a lay person sound 100% like made up bullshit, most likely because they are. Don't shit in my cornflakes then tell me you just gave me breakfast. Officer.
