    The more I think about it, the more I think you're on to something... "Let me in"? Who the fuck would say that if you found someone in your apartment? Like no one. You'd call for backup and watch the door from down the hallway or something. There's a sense of familiarity in those words: let me in. Sounds more like a lover's spat than a case of the wrong apartment...

    If they found some of her stuff in the apartment, the chances that she's completely lying and had a relationship with him is sky high.

    Her story hasn't made sense since the beginning.

    Then what’s happened to the State of Oregon hell we have the worst road in the country but probably the best by cycle paths.
    It’s when government doesn’t spend the monies the correct way. Just my opinion no need to call me a right wing racist!

    We most definitely do NOT have the best bike "paths," by the way.

    I looked but didn’t find a breakdown of spending on bike vs auto roads but it is hard to imagine that the bike spending is more than a tiny fraction. Besides needing less real estate, bikes don’t wear out the pavement. Bikes don’t need roads and bridges that can support tons of weight. All in all, it has to be much cheaper to build and maintain bikeways.

    We also have more cyclists than most places in the US. So it kind of makes sense to spend money on them, so they stay on bikes and not in cars. The road problems would be worse, not better, if we got rid of the bikes.

    More bikes mean less cars. Less cars mean fewer accidents and cleaner air not to mention less road rage.

    Firing her for being incompetent it's the LEAST that should've been done.

    As a police officer, If you shoot someone you completely shouldn't have and that should be a fireable offense.

    If I'm grossly negligent on my job, I could be fired.

    You think?

    I'd say she needs to spend a few years behind bars A cop amongst inmates? I believe she'd regret shooting that very nice young man.

    Fired and charged with manslaughter.

    So far. The charges would be increased if they find any evidence of intent.

    Good. This rarely happens.

    Most times regardless the officer isn't punished at all.

    The beginning of the end of “most times” has to start somewhere. Maybe this is it.

    Key sentence here:

    "The federal suit argues that Guyger used excessive force in the shooting and contends the department did not give her adequate training."

    That's the Dallas FUCKING police department!!! How many other officers have inadequate training????

    To the people who have advocated against creating a 4 year degree program for law enforcement....

    What's your logical argument against having one when HAIR STYLISTS have more training than our police officers???


    Why the FUCK do they want a Bachelor's Degree for this job???:

    In Oregon:

    The minimum requirements to be considered include: An age of 21 or older. A high school diploma or GED. Either 60 college credit hours, experience as a police officer in another state, or two years of experience working in a non-officer capacity at an Oregon law enforcement agency.

    HS diploma? Check.

    16 week police academy? Check.

    Gun. Badge. Salute.

    Can't wait for the transcripts of the trial so we can find out what really happened.

    80/20 she killed this guy on purpose and thought her lame "I accidentally went in the wrong apartment" story would keep her from getting busted.

    IF she really did that her attorney needs to get a brain scan ordered and look for tumors or some other defect.

    I never agreed with your 4 years of college for cops but I guess it wouldn't hurt. If people are getting degrees in stuff that doesn't even have much use in the real world it isn't that much of a stretch.

    I'd suggest more of a 1 year type program. With TONS of psychological testing..

    Read above. They have 2 years of "on the job training"...

    It's fucking bullshit. Guess how much money they make?

    Average Police Officer Yearly Salary in Oregon. Police Officers earn an average yearly salary of $68,170. Salaries typically start from $48,660 and go up to $82,330.

    You mean to tell me I make just a bit less than a cop???

    Create a 4 year degree program and START them at 80K+ (Hell I'd advocate for more).
