Do Police Shootings Make You More Cautious About Calling The Police?
According to CNN another heartbreaking story in Texas. A woman was shot and killed in her home by a Forth Worth Police Officer. If someone can’t be safe in their own home, where can they be safe? This is the outrage over the weekend as Atatiana Jefferson was killed while playing video games with her nephew in her home.
A white police officer responded to a call for a welfare check at a home in Fort Worth, Texas, fired a shot into a bedroom window, striking and killing a 28-year-old black woman who a neighbor said was not a threat. So this is what Texas police officers are doing now? Shoot first and then ask questions? This was a welfare check, why was a gun drawn in the first place? I would love to see the training these cops
are going through to allow them to graduate and then go out in the field and respond like this.
The NAACP wrote: "If we are not safe to call the police if we are not safe in our homes, where can we find peace? We demand answers. We demand justice." I totally agree. I can’t imagine what this family is going through, especially when she didn’t see it coming. The neighbor who called the police, of course, is carrying a lot of guilt because had he called none of this would have happened. Even though these shootings happened all the way in Texas, the Capital District has also had issues with police using excessive force.
Do these recent police killings make you cautious about calling law enforcement?
