    “ With the totality of the information gathered, and the imminent risk of self-harm to the woman, police entered the suite to ensure the health and safety of the individual.”

    lol. As if it weren’t evident that All Cops Are Bastards.

    How about you don’t send people whose job it is to fuck people over to go and help someone?

    Cops should never be used for welfare checks.

    I guess that’s a form of welfare check…

    “You okay in there?”

    BAM BAM BAM!

    “How about now?”

    I mean they found an imitation gun and she was waving around a knife and they first tried to tase her.

    You could probably put that in the title or people will just think you’re out to mislead

      It was a welfare check on someone with a threat of self harm; I would expect a weapon. I also wouldn’t expect a particularly civil conversation with a rational person in that situation. Shit isn’t exactly going swimmingly for suicidal people. So yeah, I see nothing misleading here. The cops killed someone. Full stop.
