She could've avoided a ticket in the first place if she listened to the cops. If you don't pay your ticket or show up to court, an automatic warrant to sent out for your arrest. She should have went with the cops and she would be alive today. Instead, she turned an incident into something it didn't have to be by firing off shots. Of course, they are going to kill her. That's the way law works and should work. Korryn got Korryn killed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Korryn got Korryn killed. from what i heard the karryn only threatened the police. the police fired first and she returned fire Around 3 p.m., after several hours of negotiation, police say Gaines raised the gun at officers and told them that she would kill them if they did not leave. The officers opened fire. “Perceiving not only her actions, but the words she used, we discharged one round at her, in turn she fired several rounds back at us,” Police Chief Jim Johnson said during a news conference on Monday night. “We fired again at her, striking and killing her. Tragically in this circumstance, the child that was also in the dwelling was struck by a round.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2016/08/02/korryn-gaines-is-the-ninth-black-woman-shot-and-killed-by-police-this-year/?utm_term=.20adffb1532a . they were doing their job yes but the way they do their job should be changed. if there is a child involved they should never shoot first unless fired upon. i never said korryn wasnt wrong for what she did but i expect better from law enforcement to protect the child in the situation because it is the innocent life that matters. they protect and serve emphasis on PROTECT. dont just let the police of the hook in this because they also screwed up here as well I disapprove of what you say, but will defend to the death your right to say it.

She returned, and then they shot to kill. "Police were unsure if the child was shot by Gaines or the police officers" sounds like total bullshit to avoid saying "We accidentally shot the kid, but its okay! Hes alive!" It seems like the kid was towards the back of her and she had a shotgun, is it possible that she could've even hit him? From what we know she shot second, only once* and towards the police general direction. Just pointing out what I believe is a discrepancy in the reporting I don't think the mother was well, (look up the lead poisoning thing with both her and Freddie Gray) and she was definitely wrong to point a gun at the cops with a child in the room. At the end of it all though, even if the police were legally justified in shooting her, I believe the police could have done plenty more to prevent it. Imagine if they had killed the kid X_X they sure acted like harming the kid was a negligible risk compared to taking in this woman Let me avoid the WPs and just tell you one more time that "crying" about police brutality is appropriate in general. Just because you don't get it means you have the right to belittle people's deaths and act justified in doing so *EDIT* Just saw the video YourSweet posted Im not sure if the child is reliable about the "on purpose" part, but I feel pretty confident that they at least objectively shot the child I'm not belittling anyone's death? If you point a gun at a police officer to threaten them, it's YOUR fault if you get shot lol? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
