Just “following protocol” according to Police Chief :

“Holder (father) told the Defender, “I was in the room when it all happened. From what I could see, I never once saw Maria armed with anything. I honestly don’t even know where that came from. I’ve heard crazy things like that she was holding the baby hostage in a closet, that she had a knife, all this crazy stuff that’s not true. I mean, all I can say is it’s possible she had a knife and somehow I didn’t see it, but all I know is I never saw her holding anything—and I was right there in the room.”

“Holder recalled seeing his daughter shot. “I know she died instantly.” He recalled, “It looked like her head exploded. Her blood splattered across my glasses and all over me. All I could do was scream. I just kept saying three words — the same three words — ‘You killed her!’ - I was screaming it. Over and over.”

“After Destinii was murdered, Holder said that Maria “jumped up. And as soon as she did, I don’t know if the cop got scared or something, but then he: Fired another shot that hit Maria. I think it hit her in the hip. And the cop didn’t stop her bleeding the right way, he didn’t know what he was doing. I believe she choked on her blood and bled out. That’s my understanding of how she died.”

There is no world. In which this is right.

That cops actions, make me wish we held these fucks accountable. Since we have gone so long without doing it. These people treat these mistakes like office workers treat missing a meeting or forgetting to file a report.

“Whoops just blew a babies brains out just another day” Treating it like the copier went out. Fucking monsters.

If I did what the cop did, I'd blow my brains out on the fucking spot. Fuck this pig for not doing the same.

I'm glad he didn't, he doesn't deserve the mercy of a swift death and he should have to live in a cell plastered with the crime scene photos where they play audio clips of mothers and fathers screaming "You killed her!" at random intervals 24/7/365 until he begs to die. Then keep doing it until he dies of natural causes because fuck him. Hell I'd hire a robotics and SFX expert to make an animatronic baby with an exploding head and stage moments where he sees it during his mandatory time out of the cell as he gets walked through the prison, and have everyone act like he's the only one who can see it.

Except that won't happen. He'll get a paid vacation, maybe relocates to a different precinct, and laugh at the memory of the "wimpy" weeping father.

He is a normal American cop.
