Re: Troopers shoot and kill man in Monroe County
Happened a couple years back in VA when FD responded to a diabetic people couldn’t get a hold of. Attempts to knock were not successful, eventually they forced entry. Home owner had not heard them knocking, but did hear is door being busted down.
Calls like this (and medical alarm activations are just as dangerous) are always high risk.
Likewise, no one wants to destroy property, which is Likely why they used an unlocked window instead of forcing the door.
I’ve waited a long time for a key holder, and still been met on the by an old lady with a shotgun. She never heard us knocking, pounding on the door, ringing the bell, the key holder calling, or noticed the fire engine, state police cruiser or the ambulance, but damned well knew when her front door got unlocked at 2 am because her damned medical alarm was tripped.
Had an old guy that living in a trailer. Totally deaf. Every time his wife went into the hospital her would wear her medical alert.
And roll over in bed and set it off.
Walked right by the door as the trooper was pounding it. He never heard it. We figured since he was up and walking he didn’t need us and left."Cives Arma Ferant"

Re: Troopers shoot and kill man in Monroe County
Which is more reasonable, standing outside the open window and yelling and listening for possible cries for help from a woman that is possibly lying injured? Or making that split second decision to jump through the window that probably sound and awful lot like someone breaking in to a woman that's mostly deaf. If she heard them coming through the window, she probably would have heard them yelling from outside the window too. Maybe next time they'll think twice on that split second decision, or maybe next time they'll actually get shot.
Of course, walking around rapping on windows, probably scared her too. It's really a no win situation. But I did like imminentdanger's question about if they used their PA, or even their siren to try to get her attention. Maybe even using their haligan bar to force the front door would have been better than coming in through a window, since they would have been in far faster, and would have been able to have someone watching out.Rules are written in the stone,

Re: Troopers shoot and kill man in Monroe County
Personally, I'd like to see the return to officer friendly, and I have really have no problems with those types of situations. The problem comes when they go from officer friendly to total dick in 0 flat. Police have effectively made themselves unapproachable out in public, in my experience. If you try to talk to them, they're not interested. Police attitude comes from the top, if the department has a shitty chief, you're going to have shitty cops.
Keep in mind, that I spent a good many years working with police departments all over the county here, and I saw the departments change as the chiefs retired and new ones were hired, many times those chiefs were former cops from large cities. They bring the big city idea of policing out to the suburbs and the cops in the department follow suit. Friendliness is gone, it's replaced with suspicion of everyone they encounter. Maybe there's some good ones left, I don't really know because I've decided that I no longer want to have interactions with them after the way I've been treated.Rules are written in the stone,
