I can never figure out why there is a rush to the inside of a house when the house has become the “jail.” Just place 2 dozen pigs, each eating 2 dozen donuts to wait the damn thing out. Where are they going to go? It’s also night time. Wait before killing.

Just once I would like to hear a story where a cop screws up and decides to come clean instead of concocting a bunch of ridiculous lies that blame the victim. Apparently the blue brotherhood likes to bitch about lawyers and the coddling of defendants right up to the point where they get into trouble and then it's all unions, attorneys and the right to “lie like a rug”.

I think the cops are becoming a major part of the problem with violence in this country. I suppose I should just realize that it's all part of the natural cycle of corruption and revolution, but it sucks to see.

If the guy who fired that shot does not get fingered by his pals the ALL OF THEM should be locked up. No different then a get-away car driver after a deadly robbery

They are stealing our wealth and freedom, and slaughtering us like the sheep we have become. When is the last time you heard of a pig shooting an investment bankers child? When do we put an end to this?

The headline should read: “TRIGGER HAPPY PIG SHOWS OFF FOR CAMERA”

every article i saw about this story on digg before this stuff about the video had tons of comments (80% +) saying that it was the mother's fault for fighting with a cop and that any 'good' mother would have been covering her child with her own body… i have a feeling they knew that's exactly what people would say and that's why they came up with the story they did.

Jack-booted, steroid-crazed, overly-weaponized pigs slaughter a helpless, sleeping little girl in her bed. Since she was black, this will generally be accepted by the republicons as an honest mistake.

Even more reason for the girls father to identify the trigger happy pig responsible and deal with him personally!

I find this reprehensible that the Detroit Police would attempt to take this killer down in a home with innocents. Who trained these bozos? Wouldn't it have been safer to capture him in a controlled spot. I hope the person or persons responsible, yes you higher ups, get their due!

They have, you just don't hear about them but very very rarely. A few weeks ago a Everett, WA cop got off the hook for murder after he shot a unruly drunk driver 7 times in the back in front of another officer. The other officer saw no reason at all why his fellow cop should have shot the guy, the accused officer was spared a prison sentence only because the jury was confused and stupid. The jury let the pig off the hook and now the cop that told the truth is all alone in a department full of pigs that hate him in a town that loves him.

Sociopaths seek power, that's why police departments are filled with gruff mustachioed pigs that all get horny every time it's time to rally around a fellow pig who got lucky enough to murder someone. Same thing with the troops, they join because they “just want to kill someone” as they say time and time again. Look up David Brame sometime, look at his face and observe that he's empty behind the eyes even more so than a lizard or amphibian,

is “to protect and to serve” just political opiate? can honesty and responsibility become obsolete?

is america really a democratic republic or is that too just a spoon-fed patriotic elixir, a slogan, fed the masses from birth – like some deity of the sky religion – to keep the armies manned and the honest paying taxes?

i'm sorry … too many questions … the answers hurt my head …

fucking goddamned cops!!! Don't trust any of them ever anymore, fuck them all. If I need help, I'll myself thank you very much. sons of bitches, from the west coast to the east coast these bastards keep getting away with lying and murdering people. sick and tired of it.

dude, I am born and raised here in Everett and I couldn't agree with you more. Troy Meade is a lying piece of shit. Officer Klocker ? can't remember his name told the truth and now is scorned by the PIGS. I used to respect the police, no longer….I AVOID them at all costs. My 38 will protect me, plus I pretty much keep to myself don't wanna be in the wrong place at the wrong time. WTF has this country become?

Good comment.

These stories are always reported as individual isolated incidents, but really they are a trend and part of the big picture. We live in a police state with more restrictions on our freedoms, more abusive police, more intrusive government spying and governments at every level that tolerate or celebrate it.
The pigs from small town police forces to SWAT teams to military and mercenary outfits have been emboldened by Bush and again by Obama.

Here is some perspective on this epidemic of police killing US citizens. They are way more lethal than the imaginary terrorists with bombs in their underwear and their shoes.
This map is interactive and shows the extent of this abuse of the American people by our own government.

This is the most outrageous and foolish act by police that I have heard of since four police officers were killed in Oakland, Ca. by one man. In Oakland they went in after a known cop-killer without ascertaining if he was still armed or even where he was in the apartment. When they approached a closed closet he shot through the door killing several officers. If you don't know where the suspect is, or how many civilians are in harms way, you surround the building and wait him out. Its common sense and good police procedures. I don't know what these cops were thinking.

“to protect and to serve”

The agenda of the Plutocracy is to privatize this function.

A lot of cops did tours of Iraq in the Army Reserve where they got a taste for busting into houses and killing everyone inside. Now they can't turn it off. Once they get unlimited power and blood lust, they can't stop. It's their drug. It's bad now and it's going to get worse. Police departments need to weed these asshole out. The problem is almost all of them are cut from the same limited IQ, power hungry cloth.I live in a suburb of Detroit. All the cops I've ever encountered around here are looking for any excuse to fuck someone up. It's true that there are a lot of criminals around here, but the cops assume everyone is a criminal. They need to look in the mirror.

This is one of the many reasons why I keep a loaded .22 by my bed. Not much kick or power, but nice and easy to handle coming out of a deep sleep, and can do some damage with hollow points.

doug, do you actually believe that the cops will try to boot these people out?

the thin blue line…

cops don't turn cops in, even when the cop is a mob boss…

five bucks says that the “independent” witness was a fox news fan…. i'd like to see them produce their witness in court… perjury is a crime… and if my hunch is right, the “witness” was shouting that all during the clinton administration (“perjury is a crime!!!”) while foaming at the mouth.

No, don't think so. Like I said, they're all the same. Their unions will protect their jobs and they won't testify against each other. It's too bad the city get sued instead of the cops. The cops don't have enough money to pay for their crimes, so the tax payers have to pay for them. Maybe enough big money judgments will make them get serious about this problem. This is a local problem nationwide. Citizens of every town and city have to make their police departments and local officials confront and do something about this. If they won't do it, vote them out. I know this isn't likely but nothing else will work.

thanks for the link, hurly … the pattern is clear enough …

“If a widespread pattern of [knock-and-announce] violations were shown . . . there would be reason for grave concern.”

—Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, in Hudson v. Michigan, June 15, 2006

Who are you going to believe? Police or your lying eyes?
So sad.

Why is everything a reality show? These are people's lives and homes that are being exploited for the entertainment of the foolish millions.

You KNOW that cowboy cop wouldn't have made that dramatic entrance with guns blazing if the cameras had not been present.

Detroit / Dearborn and many other towns around Detroit employ Fascist police officers. I have person experience with one of them, and I can swear that most of these police officers are liars, cruel and have no regard for people of the color. Many times I wonder, how can the African Americans of Detroit can accept these officers?

I'm turning over a new leaf, here.

Leave the poor cops alone. 911 was not an inside-job.

Raw Story is a bastion of truth!

The New Bahb says, “Love it or leave it, suckers!”

New Bahb says, “Can you prove she wasn't a terrorist?”

Even Karl Denninger from The Market Ticker commented on this, which is way off from his normal style. You may want to take a look at what he says. http://market-ticker.denninger.net/ Just a note of rationality in an irrational world.

New Bahb says, “Aw come on, them sociopaths are just regular folks. You're just paranoid.”

New Bahb says,”The Plutocracy knows best because it is chosen to be the best, because, um, it's chosen.”

Like killer dogs. Once they get the taste for it…. God help us when the Collateral Murder guys get back here and start playing the cop version of their little video game.

Support Wikileaks: http://wikileaks.org/

One should count the number of times the Detroit police has solved the crimes! Less than 5%, what a shame to kill an innocent 7 yr old!

And isn't one of the things blackwater/xe brags about is that they provide the training for our domestic law enforcement (purportedly including training law enforcement for handling “terrorists”)?

I really get the feeling that the noose is being tightened ever so subtly around our collective necks–kind of like when one slowly creeps up on a skiddish or suspicious horse in order to put the rope around its neck.

I don't think it's just police depts that are filled with sociopaths. I am really becoming more and more of the belief that it is in the nature of a sociopath to seek wealth and to have power and control over others. And as such, I think the world events of the past several years provides sufficient evidence that banksters and corporate owners/CEOs and their congressional puppets are a bunch of sociopaths.

A sociopath has NO empathy (consider the debate by certain members of our leadership about the value of having empathy in the recent past) and no ability to feel guilt or regret for anything they do. One person dies, 100 people die, millions of people die–it doesn't matter to them–they could care less. It's all about getting what they want by any means necessary–the ends justify the means mentality. They're also very good actors, which means they're very good liars, and they always LOOK good.

I think this also explains why everything is so topsy-turvy from the norm–war is peace, greed is good, etc.

So, if this is the case, what we're really dealing with in our country (and other nations as well) is a nasty nest of sociopaths that have succeeded in achieving great wealth and power–and they're destroying the world in the process.

so let me get this straight…a whole platoon of cops, professional video crew on scene, documenting cops shooting at the house before entering, cop spokesman lying that the little girl was shot due to altercation, “struggle” with grandmother?…and they are “not sure” what happened?..where the hell am i?… and what the hell am i doing in the hand basket?..

FVCKING MURDERERS! THIS WONT STOP UNTIL WE START TAKING AN EYE FOR AN EYE!

Don’t forget about the ‘isolated incidents’ of people like that Texas guy who left a diatribe (right? I forget, there have been a few and my memories of them are getting jumbled… oh yeah it was his website!) and then flew a small aircraft into the IRS building in Texas… and the MSM immediately labeled him as ‘an extremist’ who ‘wasn’t right in the head,’ and of course the Arab-American psychologist/psychiatrist who’d listened to enough horror stories about his homeland and finally took off his rose-colored glasses and took out a bunch of army men at Ft. Hood, whom they also labeled as a ‘psychopath’ we ‘should have seen coming.’

MSM are owned by the military-industrial complex, they won’t broadcast any news that cuts into their bottom line (GE owns NBC; GE is also one of the world’s largest military contractors, they’re never going to air news that projects themselves as warmongers. It was kind of a joke when I was a kid, I used to say “GE: We bring good things to life” because that was their slogan, yet GE makes nuclear triggers, the hardware that detonates nuclear warheads.)

Why did these cops go in guns blasting just because they saw someone of that residence visiting the neighbor resident where they thought the suspect was? Is this what all of us can now potentially be facing–the cops are searching for a suspect and if your neighbor is harboring that suspect and you're seen going over to their place for any reason, this kind of response from the cops is what we can expect? And then of course, they villify the victims in order to facilitate a coverup. Anyone today that still considers cops to be “peace officers” is a blind fool. More and more it seems one is never in more danger than when in the presence of a cop.

As an aside: Fortunately, in this instance, a camera crew was filming all of this for a “crime-reality series” which exposed the truth about what happened. But why are these types of “reality” cop shows being pushed upon us relentlessly. I don't watch them because I think they're propaganda, yet so many people do. I wonder what that says about the mental state of our society in general that so many enjoy watching the humiliation, embarrassment and suffering of others.

IMO, the real purpose of these cop reality shows is to “condition” the people into submitting to the reality of the ever encroaching police state that is relentlessly whittling away our rights, liberties and freedoms.

unbelievable you guys – if this family had not been harboring a fugitive their daughter would still be alive

She would also still be alive if the pigs hadn't committed the felonious act of discharging a firearm into an occupied dwelling! And this while they KNEW the cameras were rolling!

I hope a videotape comes out showing the cops LIED about what happened at the home…..and if so….I hope they burn for it.

There are far too many stories like this lately, what happened to “Protect and Serve”?

That is why they are trying to remove your right to protect yourself. . . and you will be told to. . .leave it to the pros. I'm exponentially more likely to be killed, robbed or raped by a cop than some terrrrrist.

Cops today are militarized collection agents, charged with protecting the lanes and conduits of commerce.
Nothing more. Any benefit to you, at any time, is coincidental to that singular purpose.

Breathing while black. Although it should more accurately read today, 'Breathing while poor'.

If a flashbomb was suddenly set off to disorient people, what in the hell do they expect gramma to do but be disoriented. Disoriented people do not act rationally. A knock at the Door with the police identifing who they are upon greeting would I.M.H.O. obtain rational results from Gramma.
Grammas and Mom's have maternal insticts that cause then to fight bears for their children. What are the police thinking on this flash bomb? It sounds like it would ignite the flight or flight instinct we are all born with. Why don't they go home and try it on their mom first and see if she dosen't kick their ass too. Poor child a victim of stupity.

You obviously didn't read the article. This family was not harboring a fugitive and it's not yet publicly known whether they were aware that the people upstairs were harboring a fugitive. The guy the cops were after was apparently in the upstairs unit. This family lived in the downstairs unit (sounds like it's a duplex).

Are you a cop by any chance?

I like the part where the Detroit police say they “won't be commenting on their tactics” used….like they are some ultra-secretive occupying force…hey wait, maybe they are…

I met someone in San Quentin State Prison who had developed violent behavior in the US Army. After he was discharged he could not turn off that behavior. So, he was arrested for additional violent behavior in California.

It's what I have been saying for almost 9 years now: No military personnel should be allowed to serve as domestic peace officers until 10 years after their last active duty has past. If it was up to me, never.

There are simply too many unemployed university educated folks that can use their wits and brains to defuse tense situations to be hiring ex-high school football players/US Army grunts revved up on adrenaline and beer as “police.” And then overpaying them by 300% and letting them retire at 45 with full pay. While we fire teachers and close child services.

Just be 'so thankful” that Gates has mobilized the 3rd Infantry from Iraq….to the US….feeling safer now???

Remember always: it was Dick Cheney, the “Maestro” of the 9/11/01 War games that called for, on Meet The Press, a “Domestic CINC” in 2001. His exact words. He got it, it was all planned.

Nothing like the guy that helped facilitate the largest crime of my country's history to also call for military dictatorship. And the teabaggers stood and cheered…well, at least the AIPAC gang did: 47 standing ovations……

Until the perps of 9/11/01 HANG, there will be no justice, no peace.

Count on it. It is the 800 gorilla in the room that “polite company” refuses to acknowledge.

Are any here of that group???

what makes you think they are not here now?

The murder of a kid is always serious matter.No matter what the circumstances.. I personally believe cops are bad people..

Raw posted the story twice in a row in case we want to read it again- thank you.

Once again, the facts “contradict the police department's version of what happened”.

The way the cops raided this house sounds alot like how many of the raids by our soldiers of homes in Iraq (and probably Afghanistan) were conducted while looking for “terrorists” and/or “insurgents”–just kick in the door and start shooting. And when these soldiers return home, many become cops.

Our soldiers are put through a rigid brainwashing regime designed to dehumanize the enemy such as the Iraqi insurgents, al qaeda, or the taliban–the “brown” people–and that way they will not hesitate to kill them. (Many no doubt get on quite a power trip.) And if they happen to kill an innocent in the process–oh, well, they're just “brown” people and therefore are of no value. And then they come home, become cops and continue on their power trip and treat people in general–but particularly “brown” people–with suspicion, contempt and hatred.

This little girl’s relatives were harboring a fugitive–who was wanted in the killing of an honor student two days prior. Although I don’t condone the methods used by the Detroit Police Department, her parents bear some responsibility for this tragedy. The facts will come out, despite the grandstanding of Geoffrey Figer. One of his assertions yesterday has already been disproved..

It's not happening more often, its that video cameras get cheaper and cheaper and more and more people can afford them. Cops have been scum forever.

No need to finger anyone. They will know who did it by the ballistics.

You gotta be fuckin' kidding me. So they couldn't wait in stealth mode until they had definitive proof that a. the 'fugitive' was in the building and refused to leave? They could have just waited until he came out to go get more cigarettes and arrested him on his way to the nearest convenience store.

Welcome to the American Police State. This is what we get when some of our military comes home from Iraq and Afghanistan, desensitized fools.

Barack Obama is responsible for this; no one else. He is the fool that has allowed the Bush criminality and mentality to continue. Obama the Trojan Horse. A one term, lame duck president.

SO it’s ok to fire into a house before you even know for sure if the guy is in there? It’s people like you that let things like this happen with your comments and you lack of faith in the constitution. Thanks. Better pray to whomever you believe in that this NEVER happens to you or your neighbor because bullets’ll be flying rampant and YOUR children could be next.

Oh yeh, they were gunnin' for the girl, stupid. I am sure they planned it that way…'let's go kill us a little girl tonight'.

I ain't no republican but let's have a little common sense here.

Did you bother to actually READ the comment made before you attacked this person? Perhaps some of the words were too big for you. Don’t you know what the word “condone” means? Listen, the cops probably should’ve waited outside for the suspect to emerge, but these people were harboring a suspected murderer. I suppose if you’ve got a suspect you’re hiding in your house, then expect some violence, wether you “pray to whomever” or not.

You need to re-read my post before you go off in a tizz. I said (and I quote) “Although I don’t condone the methods used…” So based on that–it’s not OK…Next time read before you post.

Oh–I live in Detroit so I know all about bullets whizzing by.

So your advocating murdering people in order to catch murderers because the murderer is a greater threat to the public than the body count the police rack up to catch said murderer?
Perhaps you are advocating mangled bodies after a high speed chase as a proper conclusion to liquor theft too?
‘Law and Order’ types just don’t make a lot of sense anymore, you know Kinda sick in the mind — largely because they seem share the same callous disregard to human life as the murderers they condemn.

Bingo! You win! Pick anything off the top shelf. Thanks for zooming out, seeing the bigger picture and sharing with us.

Let's add to your valuable post the fact that this is an example of how they treat people who are INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY.

They went in with flash bomb grenades, guns blazing and found trouble… No kidding. Seek and ye shall find right?

It wasn't like they chased this guy back to the house in a hot pursuit or saw a gun barrel pointing out of the window when they rode up to the house with a caravan of cars, film crew in tow did they? Nope…

Add to this the fact that they knew other, NON SUSPECTS, including minors were present and I believe you have a clear cut case of the police handling this situation with complete incompetence and disregard for the public safety they are supposedly sworn to uphold.

They should be ashamed, we should be appalled and I think it's time to take better care of each other.

Did I say they planned it that way asshole? They were criminally careless, and that’s why the little girl is dead today. So go on defending them if that blows your skirt.

‘those people’ were not harboring an alleged murderer, the folks upstairs were.

You are an idiot. No one else is responsible other than BO? BS.

This has been a festering problem in the US for decades, but as they say 911 changed everything, especially the pace of our march to fascism. You seem like a fake to me.

PS if you are capable, try that interactive map of police abuses and you can see each year on its own. It shows the Bush era was the escalation era and Obama is surging forward.
As usual the abuses are bipartisan, and as usual the clowns from either side try to blame the other.

I know what you are saying and it’s true. But, what entity would place a hit on an investment banker?

Boy, you folks have got to stop ranting on what you want to talk about rather than responding to the written word. I said, if you would have cared to read the words and not read into it, that the cops should have waited outside. Are you knuckle dragger, or just plain stupid? Go preach your condemning nonsense on a fresh post rather than “respond” to something you don’t seem to understand.

You don’t get out much,do you…just sit infront of your computer with your cowardly judgements that no one calls you on.

I guess that’s why I’m here…to call you on it.

I think razrlazr was just trying to point out the fact that the little girl would never have been in that situation had her family been doing a better job of keeping her out of harm’s way, ie. by NOT housing a fugitive. I’m pretty sure everyone agrees that what happened to her was f*cked up.

A&E should be charged as a accomplice to the crime. I believe that the so called reality TV shows are glamorizing the brutality the police inflict on the public. I believe that the reality TV show causes the police to act for the camera instead of doing their job. I believe that the police are out to get everyone of us, women and children included. We can't trust those we pay to protect and serve us; it is time to stop this abuse by any means.

The pig has grown fat with arrogance. These swine don't even want to muss their hair making an arrest. They just toss in concussion grenades, shoot blindly into the house and arrest whoever is still standing. We are no longer fellow citizens to them. We are the enemy and the fascist drones don't want any contact with us. They Tazer goofs who run onto the field at baseball games and cranky grandmothers. They use fear of pain to force compliance. It's like in that Star Trek episode where in the reverse-universe Federation they use something called the “Agonizer” to enforce discipline, which each crewman has to carry. Soon we'll all be wearing a collar or hosting an implant that can be turned on remotely to discourage “incorrect” behavior or even thoughts. They start with low income people and immigrants and then work their way up the chain. Something has to be done about what Hunter Thompson called “armed white trash” before we start getting Tazed for making illegal left turns, jaywalking, or just asking for directions.

They insist on hiring ex service members who could fire upon civilians and children with impunity in Iraq and Afghanistan and then they are surprised when it happens here? Look, If you hire a thief to guard your money, you can predict the results. This is no different. Hiring battle experienced ex soldiers as police officers has a predictable and avoidable outcome.

How do you know what the other people in that house knew. I didn’t see where anybody was charged with harboring a criminal. Do you know what everybody that lives in your house does every moment of the day? Do you then think that the family of the Indiana Congressman’s family, wife etc. are just as wrong as he was because they should have known what he was doing? I don’t think so!

I think it's way past time for this bullshit “reality” programming to stop. Cops hamming it up for the cameras is not effective law enforcement.

And yeah, whatever happened to that old motto “to protect and to serve”?

So you're okay with the cops outright lying about the gun discharging because the officer bumped into the mother, good to know.

people in a different unit of the same building were harboring the criminal. another police mistake.

Although the police are supposed to work for us–the taxpayers–they don't and they never have. Since the days of Billy the Kid the police force was to protect Brinks, the Railroads, and the Power Elite. It was the police who killed coal miners for wanting to unionize. It was the police who killed civil rights activists in the 60s for just wanting to be seen as equals. And, today, it is the police who kill the poor who are just trying to get by in a system that is stacked against them.

What some of you need to realize is FIRST off this guy the fugutive hasnt been charged(Go Figure). Two, how do you know the family knew this guy had even comitted a crime. Three only a silly fool would say the pareents bare responsibility for officers to break in your home and kill your child. Wonder what you would think if it was your child dying from a cops bullet when the cop lied about an accidental discharge. That is the biggest croc of Sh*t that there is. these guys are very welled trained and you are not going to convince me a woman got into a struggle with him and his weapon went off, that is the first thing they protect, bottom line is this is a cover up and the judges that allows these dum no knock warrants are part of the problem

I'm sure she wasn't completely “innocent”, was she..? She was guilty, of being a black child in the new tea-bagger America

It is my sincere hope and prayer this police officer is convicted of homicide and is sentenced to the rest of his life in Prison. He is a traitor to his country, to his state, to his community, and to his uniform. Executing children should be dealt with swiftly and decisively. There is no room for error in a swat raid and he should suffer for the remainder of his life for his decision to fire a round into a room into the head of a 7 year old girl. Coward! Larry Talley

It is damning that the police lied and jailed the grandmother for more than 12 hours while they attempted to blame her for their errors.

Hang the pig; and send a message to the fascist overlords……….

It IS happening more often, this trend is growing. Stop lying. Post a link to prove your pro government BS or check the map showing how this is a GROWING problem and learn something.

Good comment.
Those cops shows drive me nuts, and yes they are about conditioning. TV invades us with all sorts of negative programming.
Submitting to authority in ridiculous situations, ratting out your 'friends', sucking up to the power figures…………those are the gifts of reality TV and they are increasingly targeting our kids with this crap too.

'watching the humiliation embarrassment and suffering of others'…………people used to show up in the town square to watch hangings. Today we like our pain more sanitized.
I believe we are being manipulated and conditioned by the media towards our most negative potential.
The less people 'learn' from their televisions, the better off they are.

Tea Baggers are for the Constitution. Read the Fourth Amendment. No illegal search and seizure by the police. Thiere was a No Knock Warrant issued. These only used to issued in hostage or Drug situations. Now the police are abusing these Warrants. They are Unconsttutional.Check out your constitution and your bill of rights and see how many you are losing one by one.

What did you think was going to happen when you put this shite on TV. People act like fools to get the 15 minutes of fame.

rawstory should maybe consider dedicating an entire section to police brutality…enough friggin stories are coming up on a daily basis where i think it warrants such an action.

pigs: shoot first, deny later…paid leave…off to the bahamas, see ya later!

No, in this particular case the video was professionally shot by a so-called reality TV show. The cops were basically showing off for the camera. “Look at how macho we are! We don't have to behave like normal human beings. We special! We can shoot into people's houses! Look at us! We bad!”

I don't watch TV. It's a drug as addicting as nicotine and it leads to harder stuff, like voting for teabaggers.

Mandatory re-enlistment.

I totally agree with you, and most of the cops are exactly that ex-high school sport stars/Army Grunts and also the bullied that get into this job to feel like they have control over their lives and others. As others said that the family was harboring the fugitive is BS. If the fugitive lived in the upstairs apt. and the family with the girl lived in the downstairs apt., why get a warrant for both. It was to cover their bases in case they hit the wrong apt.. They made up the excuse as much as they made up the mother fighting with the police officer saying that they had people seeing family member moving into and out of the fugitives apt..

It's the old technique of making a case out of the mistake. You see if there is a mistake or a possibility of a mistake, then they lie and say that the victim or someone else interfered with the police and due to their interference made the incident happen. Our society has made its own jail and the stupid stupid idiots on the juror are thinking that it happens to “bad” people and families but not me or my family. They don't realize when a police/fascists state is in full swing, if your not part of the elite/rich or the mechanizations of govt. your sheep to be fleeced and if you even nay once, your slaughtered by the same people you thought where always in your corner.

Nobody will be punished. Nothing will change. Police state will get worse.

No, her family wasn’t housing a fugitive. The article plainly says that this was a 2-family home, with 2 units, and that the wanted man was in the other unit.

Wow! cmon people make mistakes police officers risk there lives everyday to uphold the freedoms most of us take advantage of. They were there to apprehend a murder suspect that would make anyone nervous. It was an accident any way you look at it…. If you really think he meant to kill an inoccent little girl then I think you are probably in the same boat as the people who believe Bush was behind 9-11. Do you really think there is some agenda by the government to spy on us all and take away all our freedoms, its just obserd. They were there to catch a man suspected of murder MURDER not stealing a car force was needed everyone there has a family to go home to and want to make it out of there alive. I am sure that the police officer that pulled the trigger feel worse than anyone but that little girls family.

yeap detroit pigs in action this kinda like rodney king police busted hell yea

I left it Bahb2, never and I mean Never to return…. And the only suckers I see are those like you who do not see nor do you care about those who are dying every day. Those who have committed NO Crime. Yes I despise americans like you. I want nothing more to do with any of your kind. Like I say send me 2 of your flags, one I can crap on, and the other to cover the crap with….

Just this old Chief’s 2¢

the first 48 show needs to take some of this blame also…it is about SENSATIONALISM for their t v show ratings…the cops may have been showing off for the t v camaras…send up a prayer for that family and the cop because i am sure he didnt mean to kill a 7 year old baby…she looks sweet…her teacher said that she was wonderful happy and sweet…

I am a teacher. Cops have worked in my school for the 17 years that I have been there, and GOD as my witness…some of them are not the best people in the world…alcoholics and cheats…and I hate to say, but yes teachers were cheating with them in classrooms….HONEST TO GOD

“Police: Cops killing girl 'not an accident'.”

WTF??

Still no proofreader???

I have been off line for the past 3 weeks, and it seems that nothing changes in the country of my birth. The killing of innocents by the authorities is such an evil epidemic that is (IMHO) sweeping the country.

I sit down here in French Polynesia, a minority citizen of a country that treats all of us equally. I do not have a worry about being shot to death in my home by a policeman, or a citizen. I am considered a comrade, an equal, and a elder spokesman. I am respected by all, not for my race, nor the fact that I was born an american. I am respected because I worked hard to build up a reputation of trust, and fairness and honesty. I served in the US Military for 20+ years, but today I consider that time as wasted. Nothing that the country does these days gives me any hope at all. The country seems to have broken loose from it's gimbals and is careening around completely out of control. You have destroyed any faith of those who before believed in the fundamental goodness of the average american. No longer, I for one do not trust those who I run into upon our streets here. I no longer lay claim to being or having been an american. I only wish that things would have turned out differently, but today that is turning out to be an enigma wrapped in a riddle and swathed in a connundrum. The average american isn't qualified to sweep streets let alone anything technicial. To me, the smartest thing that I ever did in my life is immigrate to a place where at least my golden years are going to be trouble free. I will never return to the country of my birth, too many bad feelings and regrets. You have let the radicals and the reich wingers take control of what was to be your future and turn it into a hell from which I do not see any possibility of escape.

Oh, I just got back from my oncologists and gastrointestinal Doctors, they have informed me that the colon cancer I had removed has not reared it's ugly head again, there is NO sign of cancer or of any polyps. All my medicines, treatments, travel expenses and lodging are paid for. Nothing is left to chance… Now when you get a medical system that is as good as France's you may consider yourselves on a road to recovery. But for the present, it seems that you are deep in malignancy and there are no miracle drugs let alone surgery to cure your country of it's ills.
Just this old Chief's 2 cents…..

If we would require video following all raids of police, I bet we would start to get some honest, kinder police working for us..Sounds like a plan stan

I doubt you live in the City of Detroit. I live and work in the City of Detroit. The little girl’s family was not harboring a fugitive, the fact is their upstairs neighbor was harboring the ALLEGED fugitive. This ALLEGED fugitive has not been charged yet. The police had to arrest someone in the building that night after killing the little girl or they would have looked really guilty and stupid to the world. Knowing the Detroit Police Department, they arrested the first male they saw upstairs.

Cop was probably an Iraq war vet having a flashback.

We live in a nation that is in denial, about seemly everything, starting with the founders. The situation will onyl get worse see the book (Democracy or Terroriist Nation) available at Barnes & Noble or Amazon.com.

So where the heck is this vidoe and why hasn't it been released?

So is there any cases just forwarded like this.And what was the decision thrown on the culprit whether he get the punishment or not.

Strange this post is totaly unrelated to what I was searching google for, but it was listed on the first page. I guess your doing something right if Google likes you enough to put you on the first page of a non related search. :)

Interesting info. Nice piece of info, I look forward to reading more of your posts.

Merely wished to say I really appreciate your work on this blog site and the high quality posts you make. These type of post are precisely what keeps me personally going through the day.

I’ve been exploring on the net trying to get some ideas on how to get my personal web site coded, your overall layout together with style are perfect. Did you actually code it your self or did you recruit a programmer to get it done on your behalf?

Some of the details associated with this post are high-quality yet had myself asking, did they genuinely indicate that? One thing I have to say is your authoring abilities are very great and I will probably be returning back for any brand-new post you come up with, you may possibly have a new fan. I bookmarked the site for reference.

We’re very sure.
