Woman calls 911 because her husband is suicidal. While both husband and wife were outside talking to one cop another entered their house. The cop enters a room with a 45 pound English bull terrier and the couples 4 kids aged 6-10. The cop shoots twice at the dog and the bullet fragments and ricochets and hits their 9 year old daughter. Immediately afterward hearing the shots they take down the father and force the mother into the backseat of their patrol car. Theres body cam footage but the police refuse to release it citing the privacy of the family while the family is literally begging them to release it to the public. The more likely reason is it would interfere with their investigation in that the public might actually demand some justice if they saw it and then they might have to do an actual investigation instead of a cover up. We will get this body cam footage eventually and I cant imagine any scenario where a cop firing into a group of kids is not going to bring a firestorm. Still, the officer wont be charged just like in the Justine Damond shooting. You dont hear about that story anymore. Thats their gameplan in these situations stall until people forget about it. One really common tactic is when you make an allegation against a cop and you have witnesses the IAD investigator will wait 6 months then go knock on the persons door at 2 pm on a wednsday and if no one answers he closes the case as unsubstantiated. Thats how you get those crazy stats that say accusations against cops are almost alway found to be not true.
