... actions after her 2 convictions...
I am going to have to ask you to pay attention. She was not convicted of anything. She had two arrests and Zero convictions.
Wow, you guys are incredible.
Take a step back from your pot pipe and look at it objectively.
She was a college graduate and convicted drug dealer, she wasn't some innocent girl who smoked a little weed.
She violated her drug court probation by agreeing to be a drug informant.
Did the police screw up? Ya, I think so. She was to inexperienced to be an informant on a deal like that.
The chief has to measure his words very carefully as he will surly be sued, so sure he comes off sounding like an asshole. He doesn't have the luxury of admitting they were wrong to use her.
The girl knew the dangers, or should have known the dangers. She was trying to get out of the charges she was facing and possible prison time because she didn't learn from the first chance she was given. I see this so many times it makes me sick. You guys are all high on personal responsibility yet you don't seem to think she needed to take responsibility for her actions.
She could always have said no......![]()
Yea a persons life is shit away, time to circle the wagons, protect careers and blame the victim. You are giving the incompetent liars an excuse to continue being incompetent liars.

Screw up? No, negligent homicide if you ask me.![]()

So, if you're the police you shouldn't admit when you're wrong, even if you're wrong.
Whatever happened to personal responsibility?
Let's be clear, even if she WAS charged and convicted, that's not what inevitably led to her death. The death was a direct result of a bust gone wrong.
Devils advocate:
what would have been the scenario had she decided to not mess around with drugs and steered clear of that lifestyle? Simple question really.

Anything could have happened, but now that she's dead because of a botched police sting, does it matter?
Seems to me they were both perfectly willing to exploit an innocent (compared to their level of experience in illegal activities) for their own gain....one just went a little further
Not saying the cops didn't fuck up and should SHARE the blame, just commenting on your comment regarding personal responsibility.
Had she took the first warning and decided "enough of this shit for me" she wouldn't have put herself in such danger and by danger I mean cops who screwed up and dealers with guns. The cop in the video was a tard no doubt.
worthy thought
how about this one:
What difference (in action) was there between the druggies who killed her, and the police department ?

Well, I think smoking and/or selling weed aren't such bad things, so if the laws weren't retarded regarding this then she would never have been charged in the first place.

I think the speed limit law is retarded on certain stretches of barren waste land freeway but if I get caught and charged with a felony reckless driving I better be willing to accept that I'll do jail time for it.
That's why I don't own an extremely fast car!![]()

True.And I can't presume to know what this girl did expect from her infractions. All I know is that she shouldn't have been offered the deal to be an informant, and even if that were okay, she was really let down by those whose duty it was to protect her.
Here's a question, if it were your daughter (God forbid, of course) but hypothetically speaking, would you have advised her to take the deal being offered, in hopes that the charges were dropped/reduced or whatever? Or would you have told her to go serve her time? If she did accept the deal, would you have entrusted the police to her safety?
