What's this?

Hard pass on going down further down this rathole, but I'll

leave you with this....she barged into someone ELSE's apartment and shot an unarmed resident inside HIS OWN HOME, while he was eating ice cream and watching TV on his couch. That strikes me as a gross overreaction and misuse of force. I have no idea why anyone, including a cop, even if they thought it was their own apartment, would feel the need to neutralize the threat of an ice cream eating couch sitter with deadly force. I'm sorry if the term "commando wannabe" offends your sensibilities, but I'm standing by it.
