‘Gun death’ at hands of police demonstrates public’s need for relevant data.

A woman has been shot dead by police in Gastonia, N.C. Betty Sexton had called 911 to have unwelcome guests removed from her home, and was in the process of obeying orders to put down an old musket she was protecting herself with when Officer LaDoniqua Neely shot her in the chest, WCCB Charlotte reported Tuesday, quoting the dead woman’s sister.

The pigs are so afraid of the people they're supposed to serve,that this crap happens. That or the "I'm God, obey me" syndrome.

What is it with Gastonia cops and shooting innocent people this year? Cops are responsible for all of the hatred and distrust they receive. Every action like this just turns more of the public against them and leads to more of the violent fringe elements to seek retribution.

Remember: There is no situation on Earth that can't be made immediately worse by the addition of cops.

This event will have a dramatically different course than Ferguson. There will be no Attorney General flying in.

Silly her, for calling the cops. Well, she paid the price. At least others may learn the lesson...

Any bets that Betty Sexton was white and LaDoniqua Neely is black ?

It's unfortunate that so many people have to learn things "the hard way". Tons of us try to tell folks what's going on out there and they don't believe you until something like this happens, and then it's too late

Probably not - they may plead fear in public to help up their budgets and to get the public to identify them, but this stuff happens because they hold the public in absolute contempt. Whether we live or die is of no more consequence to them than is the life of an ant on the sidewalk when we're out walking - if we step on it, we don't care, because it is of no import.
