60 y/o Donald Meyer Jr from Pennsylvania is charged with manslaughter for killing his 12 y/o daughter...even though a COP was the one who shot and killed her!!

It happened in January 11, 2016 when Donald was being evicted from his home and he pointed a loaded AR-15 riftle at Constable Clark Steele who tried to kick the door open but saw Donald was holding a g un and immediately fired a single shot that went through ihs arm and killed his 12 y/o daughter Ciara Meyer who was standing behind him!!

The bullet struck her and killed her instantly

A Jury deliberated for 2 and a half hours before finding him guilty of involuntary manslaughter, aggravated assault and other counts

DA Andrew Bender told jurors that Donald didn't pull the trigger but was responsible and said that parents are supposed to protect their children and not put them in harm's way.

The confrontation was taken by property manager Ashley Hill who was 20 ft away and testified in court that the child stepped up behind the father. She heard Ciara saying "Dad, stop. Dad stop"

She said Donald had ANTI-GOVERNMENT views and thought everyone was against him

She said Meyer feared his home was being "invaded" and picked up a gun he was cleaning to protec this home and blamed the cop for his daughter's death.

Family members are "relieved" on the outcome as Jason Gehman, Ciara's uncle said they still talk about Ciara to this day.

Do you think the Cop should share some of the responsibility on this?

In instances like this my belief is that the person who caused the gun to be fired, not necessarily the one pulling the trigger is to blame. So yes the dad is at fault.

Why should the cop share any responsibility? If dad doesn't pull a gun on the cop, the cop doesn't shoot at him (and hit him, btw, it wasn't even a stray bullet, he actually hit his target) and the daughter doesn't die.

Dad fucked up and his daughter paid for it. It's entirely his fault.

The dude pointed a fucking gun at him. Was he supposed to just stand there and get shot?

Fuck outta here with that shit. Cop has no blame whatsoever in this situation. He defended himself and attempted to incapacitate a violent individual exactly as he should have.

He was being evicted. He knew who the fuck they were. They weren't "strange armed men", they were the police.

FFS, his 12 year old daughter knew who it was, hence why she told him to stop. If she could figure it out, why the hell couldn't he?

Stop defending the psychopath.

If someone dies, even as a result of law enforcements actions, while engaged in felonious activity then you can be charged with the innocents death.

This is a well established precedent in criminal law. If you dont like the rules then dont play the game.

Fair. Next.

so her last words were telling her dad to calm down and then she got shot? sad

I guess that answers why she was standing right behind him

but if she was shouting at her dad, then the cop should have known she was there and been more careful

Probably neither. Cop's certainly not a good guy and killed a child, and I don't have enough info on the other guy.

You seem very certain that the cop was at least "not a good guy"-what if the child was nowhere near the incident (as she should have been) and only the father was shot? How do you not know anything about the dad?
-He was being evicted from his home (while sad, he knew what was coming)
-He pointed a loaded AR-15 rifle at the cops
-The child was directly behind the dad and was heard saying "Dad, stop. Dad stop"
-The dad was known to have had paranoid tendencies and feared his home was being "invaded"

If anything, I'm impressed that the cop only fired a single round-can you imagine how much restraint it would have taken to fire only 1 shot (and through his arm instead of centre mass) when you've got an assault rifle pointed at you? I'd like to see you remain as calm under similar circumstances. Putting aside the issue of having an assault rifle around the house, the whole thing was unfortunate but foreseeable given the situation that someone innocent was going to get hurt.

If you point a loaded rifle at ANYONE you should go to prison. No idea why you specified cop as if they have some special privilege. They are no more different than you or an I.

But to the topic, the dad is definitely at fault.

He wasn't charged for murder. He was charged for involuntary manslaughter. And he deserves to go to prison for it. At least attempt to know what you're talking about before you say stupid shit.

I specified cop because that's what we're talking about. This guy pointed a loaded rifle at a cop. If you do that, you deserve prison time. And if I had just said "anybody" you know some stupid jackass was gonna come in and say "but...but...but what about burglars!? What if he was being attacked??!?" Which would have been equally irrelevant, tbh, considering his daughter knew who it was so there's no excuse for him not to have known and the "I thought it was a robber" defense is thrown out the window.
