7-year old girl killed by police in Detroit

It's detroit.... I think the cops have enough reason...

Anything that makes Detroit smaller...

You really think that's funny? Have some respect.

You really think respect exists on the internet? Get a clue.

It exists on the escapist and the moderators would agree.

Then let a moderator scold me rather than a couple of self-righteous assholes. Until that happens, back the hell off.

Basically, while filming a reality TV show police raided a house they thought had a fugitive of some sort inside, and in the resulting raid, a young girl was shot and killed.

However, the story the police gave was different than the one caught on the tapes of the reality show's cameras. From the video, it appears that the cops threw a flashbang grenade in threw a window, then one of the cops shot into the house from the porch. The story the police told was a bit different, with them saying they threw the grenade, entered the house, bumped into the stumbling Grandma, then an officer's weapon "discharged" and hit the girl.

This whole story is a bit confusing, and it raises all sorts of issues. Does the presence of a film crew alter the situation to a degree that demands a change in tactics? What really happened inside that house that led to a 7-year old girl being killed? Are Detroit police just a bunch of assholes? Discuss.

This is murder. They saw the tape and discovered there was no need to fire. Also, the cop are train to old their gun in a way that if there a discharge, it wouldn't hurt anyone. Of course, the cop cover his ass. Human is incapable to deal with his mistake for the most part. And even fewer when it's a big as this. It murder, and the cop should face a Life sentence, like anyone.

That's sad. He probably feels really bad about it.

I don't know what sites you're used to, but on the Escapist we tend to consider the accidental death of a seven year old girl to be a bad thing. It's also worth mentioning that calling someone out on a callous comment like that isn't against our forum rules. Name calling, on the other hand, definitely is.

Clearly you've never been to Detroit...
