Looks like you and I posted this same "isolated incident" up at the same time. Sorry for intruding on covered ground. It's not like there's a shortage of material to work with. :lol::lol:
There is trend developing that I don't think should be ignored. The mentally ill, the elderly and unarmed teenagers are being mowed down like there is a bounty on them. By police. The slogan needs to change to match the times:
"Roving and Exterminating"
Police have killed 839 people in the U.S. since May 1 2013. About nine months.
We've lost a total of 828 U. S. troops in Afghanistan in the last FOUR YEARS.
But to imply that she does not have the capacity to regret her actions declassifies her as a human being, which makes us no better than the thug cops who see us as less than human, equal of the same rights and treatment.
The cop just wants to go home to her family at the end of the day.
Of course they do. They're not complete idiots.tho another article (http://www.nydailynews.com/news/nat...ps-front-door-family-lawyer-article-1.1619842) says the city police insist it was a gun!
Of course they do. They're not complete idiots.
There is nothing defensible here; she did something horrific and should see the same justice a non-cop would be subject to.

There are two pages by that name. Which one is yours?

What crime has the officer committed? Perusing the Georgia Code, her act and her justification for her act does not seem to meet the requirements to be charged with the child's death. Title 16, Chapter 5 of the GA Code.I have a wii and all my gun controllers are BRIGHT ORANGE or WHITE PLASTIC and couldn't be mistaken for a real gun. This is unless you are looking for an excuse or reason to see what you want to see deep in your psyche.
This was plain out murder just as if someone did a drive-by. Forget the fact the person that committed homicide was a cop as it shouldn't matter in this case.
Well, upon further review, a misdemeanor may be in the good officer's future, may be. This event may disbar her from further wok in the LE field, aside from her voluntarily exiting the LE field. But there is no guarantee. There is no "negligent homicide" in the GA Code, that I could find.What crime has the officer committed?

This will be a civil matter. Criminal charges will most likely not be filed. I hope that I am wrong.
Just a terrible yet unfortunate accident.
She is certainly being accorded nicer treatment than you if you would have done the same thing....
Why is she not behind bars?
Uh, they already did disclose that a gun was at the scene.Officials did not disclose if a weapon was found on the scene.

So, which is it EPD? Gun or no gun.Euharlee police said two officers arrived at roughly 7:35 p.m. and Roupe answered the door with a gun drawn — contradicting the lawyer and witness claims that he was unarmed, expect for the video game device.
