I've said it before and I will say it again: Any cop who kills someone, justified or not, should lose their job as a police officer permanently. It's extreme, I know. But so is killing someone. Taking a life should be the last resort. Shooting should only be the option when there are no other options.

Cops should have to carry malpractice insurance like doctors. That way citizens don’t have to pay out when they hurt someone, and they can be labeled uninsurable if they’re too much of an asshole.

"they didnt know there were children present"
this right here shows how little they care about humans in that, its ok to come in as a killing machine if its just adults
zero effort put into the fact this guy should not have been armed entering that place at all.
no one reported a weapon, but sure as fuck the police brought the danger to the scene. lets repeat that the police were the most dangerous part of this incident and nothing happened. nothing fixed. nothing learned.
and now these cops can feel justified to shoot the next 11 year old 'accidentally'.
you cant accidentally if you dont have the weapon in your fucking hand.
Especially since it goes on to say
the address was known to the officers and had “been the scene for dozens of violent and sometimes armed disputes” between Nakala Murry and the father of one of her children
