We all know how the story will end.

Let this be a warning to any pot smokers out there. It's open season, and you're fair game to be killed by a cop if they feel like it.

The victims apartment and not the shooters.

wind blown field in which all manner of irrelevancy roams. Or as Obama put it "the modern electronic version of yesterday's bread and circuses".

This bit of tumbleweed will be stopped at the only gate that really matters because the law rules on this turf, not Twitter.

Would appreciate a relevant comment and a debate...and not an ad hominem.

What does concern me is there were several warrants issued, including for the cops' apartment I assume, and the returns remain under seal...so why make this Public? Why did the DA exclude this one from seal?

... than an ordinary citizen, conspiracy theories will naturally develop as a result.

DPD could have avoided much of this, had they processed her on at least a criminally negligent homicide charge as soon as they stopped OIS protocol. They obviously had enough outcry to announce around noon on Friday she would eventually be arrested for manslaughter, but delayed the fingerprinting, photography, and bail requirement long enough to let a ton of questions come up in the public eye.

It may seem unfair to prejudge all officers because of the abhorrent actions of a publicized few, but the too-common lackadaisical response to those few creates a perception that law enforcement always backs their own.

The only way to defeat such accusations is complete transparency and unbiased accounts, not drafting a warrant for arrest that seems to read like a defense attorney's statement. For example, it states for certain that the door was not fully latched, not how they came to that assumption. "Electronic records indicate the door was ajar", if it has an electronic entry, or "Officer Guyger assumes now the door must have been ajar."

These may not seem important, but how many other arrest affidavits don't explain exactly how they came to the "facts of the case"? It is ABSOLUTELY essential that especially off-duty officers are treated as citizens, no less -- and while there's an argument for a higher standard for Law Enforcement, that really only applies to later duty or knowledge of law, not criminal charges.

Otherwise, the trust that has been eroded by the "few bad apples" will NEVER be regained. Even if it can't be entirely, only transparency when an officer is involved will help enough to make the majority trust officers again.

But only for evidence connected to the shooting. Nothing for going thru drawers and such. They could look at her apt for drugs in the Medicene cabnet and drawers. She is the one that shot an unarmed man in his home.
