An Illinois deputy sheriff who killed a woman in her own home is part of what law enforcement officials and experts call America’s legion of “wandering officers” who drift from police department to police department – sometimes even after having been fired, forced to resign or convicted of a crime.
Yup. A pot of water he told her to pickup, then intentionally got closer to her after she picked it up with his gun out to escalate the danger for everyone.
This is easily the most egregious example of police murder I’ve ever seen, my god. She’s across the room with a pot of water, and out of nowhere his training tells him to perceive immediate danger and fire. Open and shut murder case, so glad a body cam was present.
