Self-fulfilling prophecy perhaps.

So what the hell does her being a women prove anything other then she stupid and that stupidity is blind to gender?

Just as an update, 2nd degree manslaughter charges have been filed against the 2 officers.

Could get up to 4 years in prison. Guess one was the cop who shot, the other being the supervisor that was there.

The poster was stating that she wasn't qualified for the job, but hired to appease AA rules.

lmao charged with what? Maybe wreckless endangerment at most but certainly not manslaughter. This is just a ridiculous series of events that ended very badly.

Thank goodness the DA is a wee bit smarter than you, eh? A ridiculous series of events that ends very badly is like when you overindulge at Taco Bell. This was reckless, inexcusably stupid behavior that resulted in the accidental death of another person. Manslaughter to a "t"

Exactly. Officers are trained in how to use their weapon and what effects it can have. People who discharge their guns like that in normal circumstances are charged with manslaughter. People with training in the area who know better are held to an even higher standard.
