That doesn’t mean they did anything wrong. If a 17 year old is threatening someone’s life then lethal force is both justified and necessary to prevent further injury or death. It’s a horrific thing, but let’s not act like they just showed up and murdered some kid. They had a knife and in the words of the mother, was “in a rage”.

17 is not a kid. And if said kid is threatening someone’s life then that is a horrific and difficult decision to be made in a split second.

Rip Van Winkle slept for 2 decades so I guess you could have been asleep for 2 years

LOL.

Maybe because people don’t feel cops should receive the benefit of the doubt? Seems like cops earned that lack of trust on their own merit.

Military training isn't really broadly the problem. The military explicitly trains to never shoot the wrong people, to not shoot first, and that civilians are not to be treated as enemy combatants by default.

Not anymore.

Man-made cave off an unmarked trail

They actually did do something wrong though. A kid is dead.

Who defunded the police? And now you're telling me there's a study? Or you're just making everything up?

I recently finished reading "Rise of the Warrior Cop" by Radley Balko. Great read for anyone interested in this topic.

The shelter is full each night. They also have limited staff at the moment. City officials have asked the nonprofit running the shelter to allow tents inside their courtyard. The nonprofit doesn't have the staff to supervise a tent city on their property, nor do they have the bathroom facilities to deal with that many folks or want the liability of having this rough population on their grounds. The nonprofit is at max capability and have drawn a line.

City officials have created ordinances to make sure there's no more camping in the city parks. The homeless moved from parks to the sidewalk because as long as they're not blocking walkers, they can legally be on the sidewalk.

All our leaders need to come together to find better solutions. This is a statewide issue and with Manchester being the largest city, the homeless have been convening here from around the state. Notice that the folks being written about in the papers aren't from Manchester, they're from around the state.

Manchester has nearly 1700 housing units approved and in progress with around 200 of those reserved exclusively for extremely low income residents. What we need is transitional and supportive services housing. We do have some possibilities, but no leaders are pushing this forward at the moment and that's a shame. Our city and nonprofit leaders seem to be overwhelmed into non-action.

That dude is absolutely batshit

That’s the thing. The cops will release this stuff immediately when it shows they were in the right. When they drag their feet releasing it though… let’s see how this plays out I guess.

What's the holdup? The public should have access to this information within like 48 hours of a shooting.

The light of day is the strongest disinfectant.

Generally speaking, I'd say sarcasm seems like a more likely situation than that they sincerely believe killing a kid in distress makes cops the "best of the best".

But then again, this is a NH sub.

There was no correlation between reducing police budget and violent crime. Violent crime went up everywhere the year defunding the police was tried for unrelated reasons.

I mean, is it not wrong to kill kids?

Okay

So is it really a cave or a roof over rocks?

Dogs appreciate this bill.

Rather than screaming ACAB why don’t you clowns wait for the body cam footage to make an assessment as to whether or not they actually did something wrong?

Big man here folks, So strong and badass!

Ya I mean that’s definitely part of it, the American lifestyle robs too many of us of our connection to nature and to other people. Instead of relieving of us this absurd work burden we spend money on police whose only job is to protect the system. There simply isn’t a system in place to adequately deal with instances of mental health crises on a large scale so it’s on communities and individuals to do their best. Ultimately the only way out of this spiral is ending the system that propagates it and to do away with the police that use violence as a first option
