Drone got her killed,cops relied on it way too much if they confused a cell phone to a gun in less than 30sec . camera's are not always right and obviously this one had cops confused 😕 where's the body cam footage of all responding officers? surly that will prove communication between drone and officers and officers response besides just the video of where she was hiding at?

[@CH-eg7kr]

So, if they have drones capable of seeing that the person has a phone in their hands, but they apparently cannot communicate that to the officers on the ground so they don’t shoot someone, what is the point of them having the drones?

[@Popeyeschickenlover912]

Does a drone place restraints on someone and take them into custody?

Question; Is it your departments policy to train officers to shoot 1st and ask questions later?

[@sirmagnus99]

Yes. If the cops show up, you're a baddie. If you show up in court, you are the baddie. I've talked to these employees (cops and court workers) and their view is always negative, you must prove your innocence these days.

[@oldowl4290]

Well, if you stole a car and then run from the police and then pull what looks like a weapon, then yeah.. your dumb ass might just get shot. The math is not hard here.

@@bradhuff256 i mean if you're at a very long distance, you know the person you're dealing with is violent, and they all of a sudden bring something out of their pocket in a fashion you would with a pistol, then one would confuse it as a gun. i mean you can mock them all you want, but you can't deny this person was looking for that outcome. and i'm more then sure you'd of done better seeing how brave you are on your device.

Sooooo, lemme get this straight. America's sorriest Police Department cornered a female in a storage unit and purposely placed themselves in a position to be skeered of a cell phone, despite having a drone in the air, and lots of taxpayer-funded resources available intended to be used to avoid exactly what happened. Hmmmm. Chiefy speaks so poorly is more worried about how the angles from the drone might help with the excuse making, instead of how the drone could have prevented this amateur hour disaster. The DOJ would be nuts to turn this clown show loose at this point. Also, Mr Channel Operator ser, why are your former coworkers so skeered of harmless cell phones?

[@AaronScutt]

Nice mic placement gents 👍

[@bradhuff256]

Say, Mr Channel operator ser, how exactly does one "use a cell phone like a gun" anyway? I mean, I understand that is what your former coworker said happened, and you are just the waterboy, but how does that work, exactly?

Cops are being attacked on a daily basis out in that area. I certainly understand them protecting themselves. Thank you for your service.

[@bradhuff256]

No, they're not being attacked daily. Why are you apologists such dishonest sorts?

[@jenniferornelas4151]

It's lack of communication between cops and the people they're trying to detain, don't give them a reason to shoot,she shouldn't of ran and cops shouldn't be so quick to pull the trigger 🤷
