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.

In a perfect world, she wouldn't have been a criminal. Her getting shot was the result of her boyfriend firing at the cops. She did not get shot because of anything the cops caused.

Is the boyfriend going to be charged for anything he did that night?
From what I understand, the boyfriend is saying that he thought he was getting robbed, and they can't prove that he knew they were cops before he pulled the trigger.
And the boyfriend was not the subject of the warrant, nor was he suspected of any crime.
So why are we trying to blame the incident on him, when he seems to have done nothing wrong prior to shooting?
