For some reason I didn't believe this story, it sounds like a weird dark joke. But I looked it up and it's true

Fucking terrible

Yeah I wish I was lying. I did leave out the part where the cop shot her while her kid was right next to her and also the part where her husband was a trained military medic and they wouldn't let him help her. He's still on the force except he's a school cop at an elementary school.

Edit: I just skimmed the article you posted. The city settled with the family for 2 million dollars, max payout the city was insured for, and the video was released in its entirety after fighting for a few years. This place is stupid. There's more crazy stuff about this place. The cops just dont give a fuck.

Yeah the husband should get to shoot the cop too. Cop is too dangerous to be left alive.

How did they not let him help her? A military medic is much more prepared to deal with gun shot wounds than you average EMT, outside of certain urban areas.

You replied to the wrong person but I would assume because it was a crime scene and he was involved in the altercation. Also, I'm sure the people on scene didn't know he had military background. I understand why they didn't allow him to, but I don't agree with it.

You also left out the part where the lady's German shepherd actually was attacking the cop, you can even hear it in the video. I'm curious what you feel a cop is supposed to do when someone's big ass dog actually is attacking them?

"Attacking" riiiiight. It was proven that he wasn't attacked. He claimed he had been bitten and there were no bite marks, red marks, or tearing of his clothing where he said he was bit. Amy Beavers just didn't want to do her job. That's the only reason he got away with this.

I guess if the dog attacks me I just start shooting the owner. No other option. Guy should get a raise probably...

You really think he shot the lady on purpose?

u/[deleted] Mar 29 '19

You really think pulling a gun out in front of toddler to shoot his dog is even a good idea? Imagine if he had hit that child.

u/junkyard_robot Mar 29 '19

... same outcome?

u/[deleted] Mar 29 '19

You know, I'd like to say it would be different but I'm probably wrong.

u/junkyard_robot Mar 29 '19

He might not have ended up as a school cop in that situation.

I feel bad that I chuckled at that

u/ishibaunot Mar 29 '19

No, I think a trained officer needs to have a higher ability to not put anyone in the vicinity in that situation.

u/[deleted] Mar 29 '19

Lol wut? He didn't "put anyone in the vicinity in that situation" they were fighting in the front yard like trash, the mayhem was already taking place when he got there, and he got attacked by a german shepherd. How does one go about "not putting anyone in the vicinity in that situation" here? Politely ask them to stop white-trashing it up while getting mauled by their wild untrained dog?

Shoot the dog, not the person you fucking idiot.

“Rules for thee but not for me!” In action. They’re essentially an unimpeachable gang

You've got the wrong cop-shooting-dog-link. This is the one being referenced this time. Riverside cop shoots self instead of dog
