17. Was she a criminal? Does the law only protect "little angels"? Was she armed? Did she threaten

the LEOs?

Did you notice that even her boyfriend wasn't armed? The cops didn't even take the time to plant a drop gun.

The LEOs are being paid to uphold the law. No law authorizes LEOs to just start shooting when they are trying to apprehend a fugitive.

Quite frankly, her parents should be asking for answers. So should those who have been given the authority and responsibility to oversee the LEOs. They owe it to the public to do their jobs.

Only an irresponsible person would trivialize their daughter's death.
