7-year-old girl shot in the head by police while sleeping

Sounds like pretty standard procedure to me. That is far more than coincidence.

Very tragic about the little girl, those team members will probably not sleep for a long, long time.

i might be mistaken, is it acceptable for swat teams to enter houses when there is obviously children present?

fuck the police

if it was your child you would not be so passive with your comment. It's a total tragedy. Anytime a kid loses their life, it's a very sad day.

Forget who was to blame...loss of life is tragic when its innocent.

after reading some of the comments i must say that this world has become a very cold place. just shrugging when a kid gets shot is something that does not work with what my parents taught me

Tragic is an understatement. Especially for a child.

Unfortunately will not be the last.

Well of course it's Detroit

I "love" that country more and more.

Why does it always happen to the "honor student"?

Couldn't they just once accidentally kill "the neighborhood bully douchebag?"

Of course it is, otherwise criminals would begin breeding like rabbits, just for the cover.

old detroit needs a new sheriff in town-

As Father and a person that lives just outside Detroit this is something that has been discussed around my friends and home allot. Let me point soem thing out to bring it into perspective.

1. The family was housing a murder suspect in a very publicized case.

2. The child was in the living room at 2 am not in her room.

3. The family resisted arrest.

The fact is its not the child or the cops fault. It is 100% the piece of crap parents. If they had simply been good parents in one of 3 events this would not have happened.

1. Dont let criminals stay at your home. Dont give me the they didn't know the older brother was a murderer parents will know if kids are in gangs or committing crimes if they pay any attention to their kids.


2. I have a 5 year old and honestly I feel like im failing on my job when I let him watch Wall-e till 11:30 in his room. There is sure in hell no way I let him sleep on the couch at 2 am. Children need boundaries.

3. Dont resiste arrest. Police are not judges, prosecutors or juries. The time to clear things up is after the situation is calmed down and your int he prosecutors office or the jail house or at least after the warrant is executed. If you resiste arrest you deserve what happens. I have been wrongfully detained before and searched under suspicion only to be let go as soon as they realize it is a mistake. A few minutes of lost time waiting for cops to smarten up has saved me night in jail for resisting.

It's easy to blame the cops but the fact is here in detroit it is bad enough with them doing there job if we tie there hands more or dont have them I can guarantee Anarchy would not be pretty.

i sure hope i never have a car that matches descriptions then

would suck if they shot my dog or i mistook them for intruders

This story brought tears to my eyes. I have a 2 1/2 year old daughter and if this happened to me, if someone mistook my house for another house, or even if someone was staying with me that I did not know they were wanted, and my daughter was killed in the process, the department would be going through hell fury.

I'm surprised the fucking pigs didn't tase the little girl first, then shoot her.

Detroit should riot over this. Oakland sure as fuck would. Oakland would be burning to the ground right now if that shit happened.
