ridiculous

Funny how when someone doesn't agree with what another person posts they have to attack that person and try to force their opinion as the right answer. Alot of you need to grow up and understand that everybody has a different view and has that right to speak it. It wouldn't matter if half the city stood there and watched what happend, everybody would have a different opinion on who was right and who was wrong and what should have happend. Personal attacks against what someone posts about a news story are the most ridiculous thing I've seen in my life. Get real people, quit trying to force your opinion on everyone. enteaser that means you

How come nobody brings up the fact that there was more then just one officer there, It's not like it was just this woman and the single officer and his only option was to shoot her. What were the other officers doing? Doesn't HPD carry taser guns? If this woman actually did have a knife to her child's throat isn't that a hostage situation? Do they always just shoot people in hostage situations? Put yourself in Mr. Selimaj position, if this had happend to you what would you do? would you just accept the fact that your spouse was shot and killed by a police officer and leave it at that? This isn't about being a cop hater or whatever you want to call it, this has to do with a police officer making the wrong decision. This man had other alternatives he could have used, he had other police officers there as back up, I'm willing to bet that the officer had his gun drawn long before this woman waived her knife in his direction so the 7 seconds really doesn't apply here. It's no secret that cops will do whatever they have to do to protect one of their own. My best friend is a cop and I've heard about all the dirt that goes on in law enforcement, I'm not saying all cops are corrupt or not so trustworthy as their position should have them be but there are alot of cops that may have been decent before they became a cop but all that power went to their head and now they really need to be re-evaluted to see if they still meet the requirements to be in law enforcement. The bottom line is, you can say Mr. Selimaj shouldn't have called his wife, and the woman shouldn't have been waiving a knife around like a mad woman and the police officer shouldn't have shot and killed her. This lawsuit is being settled because the city, HPD, the DA all know the officer was at fault for using lethal force and there is no way in hell that they would win in a jury trial.
