MODERATORS
I have questions about how necessary it was to fire at the woman in the first place.
•if she's in an empty lobby with her and her son, and two security officers, could they not have tried to negotiate and get the kid away first?
•Did security actually see "materials consistant with manufacturing explosives" inside her trenchcoat before firing, or is that something they alleged after they shot a 7yo in the head. There were no explosives found on her body or at home.
I know it's hard to judge these situations, but I feel like there could have been a resolution where the kid doesn't sacrificed by everyone involved.
The police opened fire after the mother did. It is notoriously difficult to negotiate with someone who is actively shooting - aside from needing absolutely every target to be in excellent cover, you have to make yourself heard over the gunfire.
How many rounds did the child fire before taking a police bullet to the brain?
You don't believe the police should engage in gunfights with active shooters? Are you perhaps a member of the Uvalde Police Department?
Lemmy users try really hard to blame cops for everything.
