I can't believe these police officers thought someone calling whispering, would somehow be able to come to the door .. she couldve still been alive

[@watersauce3998]

I think they need a search warrant to enter a locked home like in this situation. It's so unfortunate what happened but legally cops can't just enter peoples houses off a phone call for all they know it could have been a prank or who knows what.

Calling 911 for emergency and begging for help qualifies as an INVITATION to police!! If they thought there was a kidnapped child there would they just walk away? No difference

[@bettywillbrowse]

They should be able to force entry after a 911 call like that. And there should be a fund account for damage repairs in those cases where it was somehow a mistake. Surely some tax dollars could be allocated to this fund, considering all the other stuff they use tax money for

[@recoveringsoul755]

@@bettywillbrowse I've known abuse victims who have had their abuser call police and claim the victim is trying to kill themselves, and they break down the door for that (even though the person wasn't suicidal). And some if them are taken for 3 days of evaluation and held hostage. It's so common they refer to it as a "special vacation". One woman I know said she returned to her home after those three days to find it empty. He had taken all the furniture, the children, every lamp, her clothes but the door was still broken.

The CONTENT of the phone call should matter. I don’t think the fact that this lady was in real trouble and her aunt had already been killed had been relayed to the responding officers. There’s always something important missed as the call goes from the 911 center to dispatch and then to the patrol car. It’s like that game where a bunch of people line up and someone whispers a phrase to the first person and then the phrase is passed down the line. The message is never close to the original. As I wrote in another comment, the police wrote her off as crazy before they got to the front door. They had probable cause. I’m sure the young woman would not have been upset by the broken door or the intrusion. When the captain used the 4th Amendment as an excuse, it made my blood boil.

[@The_Tiffster]

A 911 call. Since when is a 911 call about a murder that has already happened, and another about to happen, not grounds to enter??? I can't even count the number of videos I've seen where cops break down a door for ridiculous reasons! Abolish the police now!!! When they are not busy killing citizens, they are allowing others to kill them. They only serve to give people a false sense of security; a guise of protection. As if the negligence of the first cops isn't bad enough, you then have these ridiculous excuses and justifications after the fact 😡

[@earlsshadetreegarage3131]

The girl simply said that she was going to die and that the guy had already killed her auntie that was enough reasons to break they're way in. Hopefully they will change that law after that incident in a way that allows the cops to enter if someone's life is on the line that would save a lot of lives in the near future.

I was stalked in 2013 and the police officer took it seriously RIGHT away. When he ran the info on the guy he had a extremely violent history of stalking and hurting women. I had moved into his condo unit when he became obsessed with me. That cop went to his home, told him if he ever came near me again he would regret it, put a restraining order out, hung out in the complex, and told all his colleagues to watch out for me and for that guy. He treated me so well. That’s the best interaction I have ever had with a cop, I brought them cookies and thanked him profusely. Thanks to the cop at westerly, RI PD I wasn’t harmed only because he took one handwritten note and my story seriously. I’ve had the opposite interaction with cops as well. But that officer has a big place in my heart and all my respect. PLEASE always take calls or red flags seriously. I thought this guy was innocent until all hours of the night I heard someone trying to break in. He followed me to local bars.

She literally said someone had been killed inside the home. Dead people can't answer a knock at the door. They immediately thought it was a less than case. The dispatcher obviously did not convey the details correctly. They could have entered the home.

[@angie8765]

So the 911 whispering call saying hurry/in danger wasn't cause to break the door down, WHAT?!

[@MissMuffin2.0]

How's!!!!! I mean she was so clear. About wat was going on. They should be fired. N guilted. N Police BANK ROBBERS DONT LEAVE THE BANK OPEN AS THERE ROBBING. LEGAL CAUSE IS THAT PHONE RECORDING

[@msross2323]

She said that he already killed her aunt and he was going to kill her. They had information about a murder. How can ignore what the woman said. She was being held hostage. How was she supposed to open the door?

[@marysmith9954]

They killed my aunt-- should be reason enough. If they walked around house, maybe they would have seen discarded bullets

[@rochellegorcheck3772]

People don't call like that for nothing. Do something!

[@od7gaming844]

“Saw nothing at the house” they didn’t even get in

[@lynrowan2521]

Tragic. Absolutely heartbreaking. May they all RIP forever.

[@katherinemcconico982]

So sorry for your loss. 😢 Officers didn’t take 911 seriously. But PD’s “No Knock Policy “ warrants forceful entry to the unknown behind locked doors and cars in a driveway. So that 911 call warranted a “No Knock Policy “

[@paulthompkins4150]

Absolutely RIDICULOUS!!!

[@seviregis7441]

So sad.

[@natalie9884]

If that was like a white child let’s say crying for help. The police would have barged down those damn doors let’s be honest

[@rachaels1136]

🙄

[@mytoesarecold5555]

@@rachaels1136 - roll your eyes all you want, but you know that it’s true.

[@cerealoffender9530]

The fact she said her aunt was already dead and the guy was about to kill her should give enough cause to break a window or force a door, this family have been through so much.I hope they catch the SOB that did it, and haul the police over the coals too!

[@MrsznewyawkRN]

This video was HARD as H*^* to watch 😢 I don’t know whether I am more angry or more sad 🤷🏽‍♀️ dang man - TRAGIC.

[@youtubehandle-]

Truly haunting, so many similar calls dismissed. Condolences to the family. 🙏🏼

[@CarisstaRashele]

WHY WAS RHE DOORS NOT KICKED IN⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️ WTFFFFFF

[@sandd286]

That whole case is BS those cops should be held accountable.

[@monalouise6996]

Wow. You’ve got to have some pretty good reasons to break the door down. 🤦🏾‍♀️😭🙏🏾🙌🏾

[@vidsmj]

The cops had one job.. and failed horribly.

[@princesabonita79]

I get that police can't just barge into a house without cause but with exigent circumstances police can go into a home to see what is going on inside. Just because there was no visible blood or things over turned doesn't mean someone isn't in need of help. The cops could argue that it could've been a prank call and why they didn't enter, to avoid a possible, potentially deadly confrontation with the unsuspecting homeowner but if that would've been the case i'm sure they would've been covered under "exigent circumstances". "We got a call that someone was in imminent danger, saying that someone was already dead, and were afraid for their life, so we kicked in the door." Sounds like in this case the police dropped the ball. Another reason to own a firearm. Even if the cops show up within minutes and they knock and you dont answer because someone has a gun to your head, and they leave, you're screwed.

[@HaxStudio]

I knew the moment she gave her name they weren’t going to take it seriously.

[@sarita5572]

Wow....the officers dropped the ball BIG TIME on this. She could of been saved if they would have busted down the door. They should be held accountable and feel absolutely ashamed of themseves.

[@Lisa_5591]

So horrific!

[@sdmakeupandentertainment]

In the call she states that he already killer her auntie so they had probable cause to enter the house. There's no excuse. You call 911 for help.

[@Nostalgic_1]

You can bet your booty that for $25k someone who knows him and knows where he is will be turning him in for that kind of money!

[@AB-by8xu]

They should have broke that door, that is all their is to be about that

[@1whocs486]

This is BS ..... someone calls 911 an didn't even try to get into the house....NO UNACCEPTABLE

[@codywincen8023]

Disgusting. “They have to have a pretty good reason to come in” SOMEONE SAID THAT THEY WERE ABOUT TO BE KILLED AND THAT SOMEONE HAD ALREADY BE KILLED. How dare he defend that.

[@oneeyeopen5044]

I cannot believe this woman called to say she was going to be killed and they didn't find reason to break in. This is a disgrace

[@awesomeirlable]

I found the flippant attitude of the prosecutor highly unsettling

[@elisabethsoquet3245]

No one gives a crap if that cop thought the call sounded interesting. No one cares what he thinks about Keyona's mental health. It's not his effing job to go on calls he finds interesting or express his opinion on the health of someone who calls for help. The person saying, "she called saying she was being assaulted" wasn't even accurate. She said her aunt had been killed and that she was next. The prosecutor is a repulsive individual with that smarmy smile on his rich, white, privileged face. These public servants are lazy and treated these women and their families and neighbors in the worst way. Absolutely disgusting. Sadly though, it's not surprising. Police officers are not trained to assist in cases of domestic violence. In my area they repeatedly "lose" hundreds of DV reports. I reached out many times for help and the police were equally arrogant and uncaring. One told me to "call us back after he slits your throat".

[@emilywhittredge5094]

I don't understand how a telephone call saying someone had killed someone and was trying to kill her, PLUS the caller not answering the door wasn't grounds for the police to enter the property. Isn't that suspicious enough?

[@yungblackqueen9800]

So disgusting and sad how they failed this poor girl. Honestly everyday I am reminded how fortunate I am to be living in Australia. Why would someone whisper and say that someone else has already been KILLED in the house and it’s lightly? What the actual fuck.

[@JuneTScott]

They say they didn’t see anything through the windows but there’s a whole upstairs tht they can’t reach…

[@spacecowboy_1962]

That should be a HUGE lawsuit

[@devilovesdevil]

She was pleading for her before murder Chief: *shrug* you need more than a phone call

[@DjMzunderstood]

They don't care about us period

[@LadyNStreet]

😔

[@ViceCityExtra]

Lets remove 911 hotline cause a phone call aint enough anyway

[@amberleighflowers2227]

those officers failed her.

[@msolis5509]

Can’t believe someone is trying to k!ll me is not reason to go into a house. Shame on everyone that was involved and didn’t help

[@michritch3493]

I hate footage of reporters trying to talk to people who don't want to talk to them, banging on doors and following people around shouting questions. Not even 2 seconds of dignity in that. Especially for the reporters. Makes them look like they're earning the vulture reputation. It's a tragedy, not a circus.

[@pocketlinttreasures33]

This was the door of someone who has been helping hide a murderer. I'm GLAD that SOMEONE is knocking n asking these questions.

[@RideoutMr]

Could not the 911 operator not understand that something dangerous was going on?

[@Nay21694]

This is sad. Wondering if this happened right when the call dropped or when the cops left.
