Report: Cops stun Tampa woman pregnant with sixteenth child

[4th law of robotics]

133. Response:

The female officer walked into a house where she knew there were fifteen kids hanging around. She walked in without a warrant. And you are surprised by what happened? The correct procedure was to fall back and call fro backup.

You know that she was aware of the number of kids in the house prior to entering?

Also it is not reasonable to assume children will set upon you, requiring a swat team to take them down.

I assume they know correct procedure better than you or I.

Yes, it was just a rock thrown through a window. So what was the rush? Why chase down a boy on an alleged complaint? And, here you're making excuses for the police: "Not an inherently violent crime. They had no reason to expect it would explode like that." And yet throughout this thread there are people who bring up past history on this woman that suggests otherwise. Given the history, (check out the Tampa Tribune) the cops were fools not to think it wouldn't explode this way.

So based on her history they should have treated her like a violent felon?

I suspect you'd have issues if they did.

Here you provide an example of what I just said. "this lady has been arrested for getting in to an altercation with her case-worker before. So I'm guessing that would have gone about the same way..."

Again, given the history this woman has had, her response would have been predictable with the cops. Anyone could have seen that she didn't expect the best from the police. She would have feared for her son.

Where I live, the cops would never barge into a house on an alleged rock throwing situation. They would have told the person that called it in that they couldn't pursue it without proof. Why are there two different sets of justice happening in the same state?

The right procedure was to find out who was providing all the assistance to this woman. That is who should have stepped in to help.

Again you're assuming these two cops were completely aware of her issues, that those issues excuse her behavior, and that a normal person would naturally assume this would explode in to violence.
