Uhhhhh, this was a woman, not a dude?!?! Are you sure you are ranting about the right case, bro?

The officer, Royce Ruby, is a man. You do know guys can have the last name Ruby?

Wow! Read much? The "pigs" in this article weren't responsible for a man's death, it was a woman...

You did read the part about it already being a 6 hour standoff? Police supposed to just wait for years.?

After watching her video, felt very sick, the lady thought she could use her gun for offense and her son for defense and she could walk out a get away without dealing with the police.

My question is at what point are damages questioned, I mean what if the jury awarded a billion dollars? or a trillion dollars? Does the city signover all the parks, land and other assets to the kid and go bankrupt? Would that make the jury happy.

The award in cases like this should be given to s charity or a nonprofit. The awards should not be given to the victim excluding things like legal costs, medical costs, and some portion of lost wages.

I didn't read the article. Is that really what happened? If so, how did she win?

$25k? What kinda sh**tbox you buy?

Hey don't be a chump with a post like that SirWiseass! You missed my point entirely. It's not the kind of car I bought but the fact that some municipalities have sales tax as high as 8.75%! So on my "modest" 25 grand car, this city raked in over 2 grand on sales tax. Imagine the dough they're raking in on high-end purchases. That's why most large cities are loaded. Big salaries for department heads who literally do nothing but blow-off the citizens. So, try to understand the point of what people are posting instead of acting like a chump! ?

Right, that would have been more reasonable.

Using the police logic, the police were all pointing their guns at her, therefore they should all have been shot.

C'mon man!...did she discharge or threaten anyone with the weapon? Was she a murder supect or violent offender that presented a clear & imminent danger?

They were there to serve stupid misdemeanor warrants - the police could have retreated out of the apartment, secured a perimeter and started negotiations. She wasn't going to go anywhere and the police would have time on their side. So many times, the police shoot first and ask questions later....nothing new there.

If she was holding a gun, then yes she was threatening them. Were they holding their guns at her? Again, if she was holdibg a gun, yes she was a clear & imminent danger.

Sounds like the cop was in the right. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.theroot.com/everything-we-know-about-korryn-gaines-1790856303/amp

We're paying black people not to riot.

Hopefully sooner than later Baltimore will become a Detroit. Completely bankrupt with no money to pay it's light bills let alone it's EMS staff which no doubt gets a workout running from shooting to shooting scene.

Sure...that's what they all say.

If she got $37 million, how much should Justine Ruszczyk get?

A totally innocent Australian women, murdered by yet another trigger happy (Muslim) American cop.

He declined to be interviewed?

I bet he did.

I notice American movies and TV give the impression that the police don’t shoot, even though guns are aimed at them, when in reality they probably kill more innocent civilians that all the rest of the countries in the Western World combined.

in this case, her family would likely be fighting a lawsuit against them

Police can just ask the landlord for a key and enter your apartment to serve a warrant?

Maybe they entered the apartment illegally and therefore the death is their fault. Sort of like how if you attempt to commit a non-violent crime and someone dies you get charged with murder.

Also we read enough about police shootings of black people that at some point it’s fair to ask if a black person is reasonable in using a gun to defend themselves against what may seem to them to be a murderous gang.

I mean, honestly, maybe she had the shotgun because she was afraid of being shot in circumstances that don’t merit lethal force, like, I dont know, serving a misdemeanor warrant,

Six hour standoff?

Cops rushed the place to cut down on paying cop overtime, a money-saving move. Well done.

If we all meditated for 15 minutes a day, things like this wouldn't happen. Please try it people. Peace and love!

Sure...a real money saving move. 37 million bucks vs probably a few thousand in overtime. Brilliant...remember they were there to serve misdemeanor & outstanding traffic warrants. Wow....that's a real dangerous criminal. Lol.

Just because you read about it doesn't mean it is true. The media is often wrong, dishonest, and political. All races are killed by police. All the evidence points to it being a financial thing not a race thing.
