14. If the shooter is locked up, the victim's life matters.

Jul 2017

If the shooter is put on paid administrative leave, the victim's life does not matter.

(That's a restating of the first two paragraphs of the post you're responding to. The rest of the post goes on in the same back and forth manner. In other words, nobody was locked up, therefore, to the cops and the rest of the justice system, the victim's life does not matter.)

Well, it looks like with this victim... cwydro Jul 2017 #30

Kicking. cwydro Jul 2017 #32

Not true. In This case people are actually condemning what happened JI7 Jul 2017 #33

What would you blame her for? LisaL Jul 2017 #34

There is nothing to blame her for just as there was no reason to blame tamir rice JI7 Jul 2017 #35

Tamir Rice at least had a toy gun that police could claim they believed to be a real thing. LisaL Jul 2017 #36

Tamir rice was not armed either JI7 Jul 2017 #37

He had a fake gun that looked like the real thing. LisaL Jul 2017 #38

He had no wespons either JI7 Jul 2017 #39

He had something that looked like a weapon. LisaL Jul 2017 #40

I'm just outraged the police have not given ANY explanation cwydro Jul 2017 #41

My feelings exactly. LisaL Jul 2017 #43

Because there is no explanation which would make it ok JI7 Jul 2017 #44

"Police were trying to determine whether any video of the incident exists" MrsCoffee Jul 2017 #46

Apparently Noor is refusing to sit down with investigators. WhiskeyGrinder Jul 2017 #47

Refused to be interviewed? cwydro Jul 2017 #48

Yep, he hasn't given an interview to the investigators. LisaL Jul 2017 #49

Wow, this says a lot. cwydro Jul 2017 #50

They should be able to fire any officer exboyfil Jul 2017 #51

Totally agree. LisaL Jul 2017 #53

I agree. cwydro Jul 2017 #65

+1, same thing with Wilson in brown shooting YCHDT Jul 2017 #69

Yes. exboyfil Jul 2017 #74

I guess he doesn't have to, within his rights, but then there needs to be a grand jury. WinkyDink Jul 2017 #56

Yes, he does have the right to remain silent. WhiskeyGrinder Jul 2017 #59

Then they can "refuse" to let him out of jail. whathehell Jul 2017 #67

"startled by loud sound"! Floyd R. Turbo Jul 2017 #72

In this case, the victim was an unarmed female.. whathehell Jul 2017 #60
