Anybody know an article about this? Can't find it and really curious about the backstory
https://abcnews.go.com/US/dramatic-body-camera-video-released-officers-shooting-woman/story?id=107171359
Jesus Christ. Yet again a law abiding citizen is responsible for recognizing the police and responding in the exact right way in a split second. ~~While the police are allowed to act like terrified wild animals.~~
I take that sentence back after seeing the run up footage linked in this article. This was nothing more than an ambush. They knock on the door and then move off to the side. They then open fire the second they see her. There was zero chance for the victim to even realize it was the police.
It's legal to carry a gun in the US, but cops can execute you if you have one. Really surprised there haven't been more reports of homeowners mag dumping at cops and then the excuse at trial could just be "thought it was a break in".
This in no way excuses the ludicrous use of force by the police, but... They forgot the keys, so they broke their own window to get in? who does that? It's an apartment, call the super? or a locksmith? Get called to a break-in, see signs of forced entry, see someone coming to the door with a gun... Yeah that'd be intense all right. Doesn't excuse the police actions but dang. bit more understandable
Sometimes it's cheaper to replace a window than it is to pay an extortive "lock out fee" from a complex.
A new window cost me 40.- a locksmith 300.-
Easier for me to break the door open and fix it later. Why yes, I have kicked my door open twice. Also kicked in a friends door.
It's quite reasonable for most of Americans. Apartment managers won't answer at night. The locksmith isn't going to answer at night very often, and when you find the one that does answer it will be an hour or longer for them to arrive. Kick in the window, replace it with a half hour trip to the hardware store the next day. You've saved a half hour in total, and probably a large amount of money.
dude, windows are expensive, where are people buying cheap windows??
I broke the window in my friend's place (hilarious story, not relevant here, totally) and it was about $20 at the hardware store for the glass, glass cutter, and caulking. Between the two of us it took about 15 minutes to cut the appropriate size of glass and get the caulk looking semi-professional. We aren't talking a complete replacement of the window frame, paneling, cutouts, etc. We also aren't talking anything custom or fancy. If you can point to a double-paned glass window or some extremely fancy one that exists in an apartment complex (in Houston, of all places, too, so you know multi-housing developments are cheap as fuck), you are going to have a butler ready to open the door for you and won't need a key in the first place.
Oh, I didn't realize you weren't talking about a whole-ass window, that makes more sense for the price if you're just replacing it with whatever glass you can find
