2) the coroner said that she probably died within a minute of being shot. The boyfriend said in his statement to police that she was coughing for a few minutes after being shot, and that he called her mom asking what he should do. ideally, he would have come out with his hands up as soon as he realized that it was the police, but there are lots of excuses for not doing that. Even if he had no reason to believe that he had broken the law, he had every reason to believe that they thought he had broken the law, especially because he knew that he had shot at them, even if it was self-defense in his own mind.  In the end, I don't think the boyfriends actions after he realizes she was shot are relevant in any way

I just...just, I just don't understand why you don't keep all that ignorance under wraps. If I knew as little about something as you do about police work I would not argue with people that my ignorance was proper procedure. But here you are, as usual, broadcasting what you don't understand to the masses.

Lingo and jargon aren't relevant to ethics.
I just don't understand why so many of you think insider knowledge is needed to know right from wrong.
And what are we disagreeing about in this particular case anyways?  We all agree she shouldn't have gotten shot, and we all agree that the officers were mostly following orders and training, just that aspects of the orders and the training need to be revisited. 
But sure, dunk on me if it makes you feel better.
