There is no active threat to the community

Except from the COPS WHO KEEP FUCKING SHOOTING EVERYONE YOU STUPID CUNTS

I'm gonna go with: don't send cops on welfare checks. Send somebody competent to respond to mental health challenges, preferably someone not wearing a police uniform (after all, at this point a lot of folks think "unaccountable killer" when they see that uniform and there's honestly reason for that).

The officer involved in the shooting has been placed on administrative leave, state police said.

They need to start keeping then in jail cells like they do with everyone else whi commits a homicide

I’ll say it again and again, before you call the cops for anything, you need to remember what you’re actually doing. You are willingly inviting an armed person, who will not lose a fight or back down, who is shielded from legal consequences, into your situation.

Grandpa isn’t answering his phone or the door and you’re worried? Call a locksmith, not the cops. Cops will just kick the door or call the locksmith anyway, now you have extra problems

Can we give them the benefit of the doubt, please? They probably thought the child was a dog or a partner of theirs... #ACAB

Call of Duty: Modern Welfare

"The Columbus Police Department was conducting a welfare check on a subject following a report of potential self-harm," Nebraska State Patrol said in a press release.

"Mission Accomplished"

Can't self harm if you're already dead

The awfulness of the story aside, I do want to put a small bit of appreciation toward ABC News for not dropping some bullshit like "17-year-old man dead following an officer-involved shooting during a welfare check." The voice is passive still, but at least it cuts to the point, that the kid was killed by a police officer.

My only notes are that it should say "Officer shot and killed 17-year-old while conducting a welfare check." As it is, it's like it's saying the kid was shot and killed, and it just so happened to be by an officer.

Dear police: you cannot check the welfare of someone by shooting them with your gun. Thanks, ACAB.

"There is no active threat to the community, Columbus police said."

False.

If you wonder why American cops are so trigger happy Amnesty International has the answer:

With Whom are Many U.S. Police Departments Training? With a Chronic Human Rights Violator – Israel

In the USA, you may get shot by a policeman by answering a welfare check.

Who cares it's not like it was a Fetus!

I confirmed he was on welfare, so I shot him.

Cop, probably.

For some reason the police just love to murder suicidal people. I think that the brain of a conservative short circuits at the thought of it, then the monkey rage comes out.

I mean, technically he did do a welfare check. He made sure there was no welfare whatsoever

American Police Version of: Mental health issue solved quickly and permanently.

This is why conservatives shouldn't have guns or authority of any kind.

They need to send qualified people. Cops are so trigger happy and everyone knows it. At this point the easiest way to commit suicide is to call the cops on yourself, wait for them to arrive, take a $15 airsoft pistol out the door with you, turn so they can see it, wait for them to draw their guns, then level the airsoft pistol as quickly as you can at one of the cops and then boom! I imagine it's not super popular because cops aren't the best shot, and you might not die.

So... did the cops ignore the word 'self,' did they don't know what the word 'self' means, or did they just want to go a-huntin'?

Because I'm guessing it's #3.

FEBRUARY 8, 2024 (Columbus, Nebraska) — The Nebraska State Patrol is able to provide additional details on the Columbus Police Department officer-involved shooting that occurred Tuesday afternoon.

At approximately 1:00 p.m. Tuesday, February 6, Columbus police officers were conducting a welfare check following a report of potential self-harm at a residence in the 3600 block of 39th Avenue in Columbus. Officers contacted the subject, a 17-year-old male, inside the residence. The subject was in possession of a knife.

During the encounter, a Columbus police officer discharged their duty weapon, striking the subject. Another officer deployed a taser during the incident. The subject succumbed to injuries and was pronounced deceased at the scene.

The subject has been identified as Chase Ditter, 17, of Columbus.

The Columbus Police Department has requested the Nebraska State Patrol to investigate the incident. The NSP Special Investigations Team is conducting the in-custody death investigation.

The Columbus Police Department has placed both officers involved in the incident on administrative leave. The NSP investigation remains ongoing.

It's so heartwarming that the people whose paychecks are paid by the taxpayers, get to go around and murder random taxpayers for no reason. It was a welfare check, so clearly the only logical outcome is the cop murdering the kid. Makes perfect sense. Remember when George Floyd was killed by a police officer?

"There is no active threat to the community, Columbus police said"

You killed the community member in question of harm, surely that would mean the community has a threat.

Don't they have laws to protect the population from free walking murder suspects?

Sorry for who has to live there.
