DOesn't seem like she was killed in cold blood to me, she was killed when she was chasing after the shooter.
Cold BLood to me would be she is sitting in her cruiser, filling out paperwork and somebody walks by and puts one in her head, fo rno reason. I would fully expect that someone trying to actively run away from LEO's are also going to do what they have to do to get away. |

Does not sound like cold blood to me either. Shooting at 4 cops chasing a perp. She did not even have her gun out. What a poor decision that was.
Barely 5 foot tall and a female. Don't they have any minimum requirements for officer size. Small females should not be patrol officers. |

An 18 year veteran of the police force is in a foot persuit with an armed bankrobber and her weapon is holstered? The loss of her life is tragic but what would you expect an armed fleeing bankrobber to do? My weapon is out and yours is not. Your dead.
The woman who walked out of the apartments with camoflage clothing on was detained and cuffed for what? Wearing camo? Not flaming, before some of the LEO jump dead in my ass, just asking. Is it standard procedure to detain people with camo on at a crime scene or was the woman involved in the robbery? |

What the f*ck is the difference of how the story is worded, she was murdered, period.
At least the skell perp did the cowardly act on himself. Pangea.....It doesn't make sense to you that the LEO's check to see if any other persons in the same apartment with a killer are armed or not, or if they had any involvement in the planning of the robbery??? Are you crazy!!! COMMON SENSE..........some people just don't have it!!! |

Inept, come on. there's not enough information to make that judgement. She definitely paid the highest price. But I surely don't see anything to be LOL about. Anytime someone is murdered I don't think is it a laughing matter. As an 18 year veteran she probably was not inept. In a foot pursuit it is sometimes difficult to use your best judgement, the adrenalin starts pumping and you want to catch the criminal. Like I said she paid the ultimate price, but LOL and inept, that's repulsive.

As to relishing it, nope, but I do find solace in the regularity in which naturual laws are enforced, even if the outcome is not one in which you would be happy. As to her personally dieing, I have no interest one way or the other, I woudl have to see her compelte record before I decided to be sorry or happy over her death. YMMV. |

How about all the innocent people murdered in boched raids on the wrong house, COLD BLOODED MURDER TOO!!!! One must wonder why little or no importance is given to all those murdered by LEO types annually with the COLD BLOODED MURDERS somehow being justified! Which of you are willing to be their next hit? |

She was Killed in the Line of Duty. Period.
Murdered has a different connotation. Semantics some may say. I say Choose your words correctly. The next time you get pulled over for: -Using a cell phone -Not wearing a seatbelt -Not wearing a helmet -Not being the right skin color -Or some other false pretense to detain, arrest or simply infringe upon you in any way. Just to pad the city coffers or for some PITA cops amusement. This story may pop into your mind. |

Range man,
I will spend some of precious time just to enlighten you and other like you... 1- COPS work for me/us and not the opposite. They are paid to keep order and by the nature of their self-elected job they will get hurt/killed. As far as I know nobody forced them into this job. They knew the risks before filling out the application. Nobody told them that their job will be free of injuries. If they can not take the hit they should QUIT. 2- COPS are a state run monopoly. They were given powers beyong the initial contract. The moto "to protect and serve" is B.S.. In the present times COPS are a tool in the hands of the powerfull the politicians and the state to keep the masses with the heads down. IMHO anybody (COP) accepting this kind of job and "just following orders" is a traitor to the FREEDOM and individual rights. 3- To your statement, I don't call the COPS for any reason. I will not support the State run monopoly. If I can I will make my own justice, when the time comes. And just to point to your moronic statement " but is the first person to demand one for any little thing that goes wrong" DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER FUCKING CHOICE TO CALL BUT THE FUCKING BEASTS when we need help? If you are SOOOO smart give me a different phone number to call for help other than 911. |

If I am mistaken in my assumption then disreguard. Are you speaking on behalf of all LEO as an official spokesman or just voicing your opinion? You seem a bit touchy on this matter. Were you there? Please fill us in.

Well, having read ALL of the articles and pictures and NOT just skimming headlines.
It seems that NONE of the Tampa PD officers mentioned in the report or visable in the photo have drawn guns. My guess is that they arent allowed to draw guns except to shoot, and they arent allowed to chase people with gun in hand. I have heard that this is not uncommon, it prevents dropped and lost guns and also AD's. This is especally true in Glock equipped PD's It also appears that Tampa does not issue carbines or shotguns to its patrolmen. Here we have a shots fired/officer down call, and no one is visable or mentioned with a long gun until SWAT arrives. Not a good situation. This is a department that needs some work in the officer survival area. Given this, I dont see where the lady who got killed did anything wrong, she followed her departments flawed procedure to the letter. She was just unlucky, he only had a handgun, she was wearing armor, but she was hit twice in the head and once in the neck and any one of the wounds would have been mortal. She just had the bad luck to chase after one of the few criminals in the world who was actualy a good shot with a handgun. |

"My guess is that they arent allowed to draw guns except to shoot, and they arent allowed to chase people with gun in hand."
Sorry, but your guess is incorrect. They are allowed to draw if fired on, they are allowed to draw if they feel in danger. She was inept, it is sad but true that inept people weed themselves out. No apologies need be made, we don't have to talk badly about her, we just have to learn from her grievous mistake. |

Here in Finland, when LEOs die in the line of duty it is somewhat rare, but when it happens people are generally upset and angry, s they should be. You don´t have the fear of some agency knocking in your door or something like that. The government has trust in the citizens and we trust the government.
This is an unfortunate incident. And shame on the airheads spouting their mouths here. Everytime you wind up in the shit, who do you call, the cops. 99% of the LEOs are people doing a shitty job, someone has to do it. Of course there are corrupt and other wise FUBAR people there, every profession has them. |

I dont know hilo,
Did you read all the articles, including the interview with the photographer? He says he was right with the first four officers at the moment the shots were fired. There are no drawn guns in the picture which he claims was taken just seconds later... Now why would they not have their guns out having just been under fire if they haven't been trained to not take their guns out until they had already decided to make a shot, and to not be running around with their gun in their hand? I am not saying its a good idea, its stupid, but it sure seems to be the case. Now maybe the officers who actually had line of sight might have had their guns out, but we cant see them in the picture. Anybody got any other pics? |

Uhhh, because she was inept? Yes, I did read the linked article and a few others I found while persuing this post. If somebody is shooting at you, you return fire, if you don't, usually you are going to die....anybody disagree? Looks like she didn't and she did die. |

Relax, we really are on the same side. If it came down to it, and both of us were standing there watching it go down, I am sure that we both would have done what we could to help the lady out. The rest of this is just chewing the fat. |

I may or may not add fuel to this fire with my opinion, but whoop-de-doo.
The LEO was NOT killed in cold blood. A cold blooded killing is when somebody gets the hook without knowing there was any such danger and could not defend him or herself. That said, it is unfortunate when ANYONE pursuing a bad guy gets waxed. |

Hielo - I think they might have made an error -
depending upon the Tampa PD's use of force policy. But I disagree with your comments - she was the unlucky one of the several who had bunched up (it appears) her tactics were no worse than any of the other surviving members - personally trailling someone who is armed with an automatic weapon (from the bank call) dress in BDU's - I would have excersised greater caution. It really grates on my nerves when trolls like Dacon celebrate lod deaths [:X*] |
