I’ll just say that I fully expect American police to shoot people in that situation. Not because it’s justified but because their whole deal is:

“Sir, stop resisting. I gave you a lawful order”

“Sir, sir, BANG BANG”

“I feared for my life”

It’s like a pitbull, right? It’s right there most of the time. Then one day it eats a baby. But you kind of knew it had baby eating ready to go. It’s sitting there ready to eat babies. Just a question of when. Then the baby gets eaten and you’re upset. But most people just stay away from the baby eater.

One day you’re walking down the street and your baby gets eaten. Justifiable? No. Your fault? Also no. But there’s baby eaters out there. Such is life.

"she was asking for it" but with murder. Cool argument.

Embarrassing what level of discourse this site has fallen to.

You had me until, “Such as life.” The point here is there is no reason life should be this way and that is why people have a problem with it.

Sadly, agreed, most should expect to get shot to death by police in any given situation. Most become a police officer with the sole purpose of being able to shoot someone and they are continuously looking for any opportunity to do so. They are literally a junkie waiting to get their fix.

Sadly, agreed, pitbulls should not be kept as pets and certainly not when children are present. Most people can’t control their pets, let alone a pitbull. Also, pitbull owners know they are choosing a pitbull for the sole purpose of proving others wrong, or the opportunity to blame someone else if their pitbull attacks someone. Weirdly like police.

Indeed.

Another way to, er interpret their comment could be, "This tragic outcome was predictable." It does not blame the victim, it is an observation.
