No they're not. He still had no duty to comply, so it's still not a mitigating circumstance. It's still manslaughter.

You know literally nothing happened to the police that threw a fucking grenade into the wrong person's house and it landed in the god damn baby crib with the baby still in it.

Sorry I was going to post a link but it's got some graphic pics of the baby. just check out nbc news for a story titled "Ex-Georgia Deputy Acquitted After Flash Bang Grenade Hurts Toddler"

It is getting worse. Now the police say the door was ajar so that why the cop was worried. And in the police report they are literally acting as her defense team. Also more things about the story has changed.

If the door was ajar, and she had her hands full with groceries, wouldn't she drop the bags and pull her gun? And, if she did that, then wouldn't she have seen the welcome mat?

It doesn't matter that is what they are pushing for. They literally said these were the facts in the case and just gave her side of the story. Even when it was different then before. The women said she shot the man, when 911 asked her were she was she walked outside then noticed oh she had the wrong place. They are setting up for this girl to walk.

They aren't going with the "He should've complied" defense. They're going for the "She feared for her life" defense.

Right house, suspect wasn't home. On duty, different scenario entirely.

Unfortunately for the victim, shes both a cop and a young white woman, and hes black. Even taking her story at face value, she should still be in prison for a long time.

There is no way you, as a police officer, can justify unlawfully entering a person's home and shooting them, there is no way this is not her fault

No. It was the wrong house. I'm looking at the story now.

They did get a $3.6 million settlement in civil court.

I found a non graphic link with the whole story https://atlantadailyworld.com/2016/03/02/georgia-family-gets-3-6-million-after-cops-throw-grenade-at-baby/

The main difference is that it was on-duty SWAT that did it, not an off duty officer, and no one died but the family ended up with $1 million medical debt at the time and their house burned down.

I'm looking at the one you initially mentioned. The warrant was for that house where they believed the suspect was.

Manslaughter either way. Clear negligence on her part regardless. It's not a mitigating circumstance.

It's the same one. It's possible the warrant was wrong but after this story came out it was revealed that the suspect lived across town.

Or the warrant was right and they went to the wrong address.

At any rate, they raided a house to find a drug dealer that wasn't there, threw a grenade at a baby, and didn't even find drugs, not even weed.

"at a home where they believed Bou Bou's father's nephew, a suspected meth dealer, was staying when they lobbed a flash-bang grenade inside. The nephew wasn't home"

It wasn't a random home or the wrong home and the charges the police faced had nothing to do with the suspect not being there. It was for allegedly falsifying documents to obtain a warrant. As to whether that actually happened or not, I couldn't say as the focus on the article is on the baby. (By the way, that second article is deliberately leaving out the connection between the family of the baby and suspect.)

Again, the suspect literally lived across town in a different home. His relation to the victim is irrelevant. He wasn't there, nor did he live there. Nor was he staying there as evidenced by the fact that they found no traces of drugs.

They didn't show up to ask questions about the suspect. They showed up to throw a grenade. (No knock raid)

No it's not. It's not the random mistake that the second article is deliberately making it out to be by leaving out the connection. Maybe it was negligent, but acting lawfully under the reasonable belief required to obtain a warrant is far different from oops wrong house.

I am willing to entertain the idea that the criminal trial was flawed and the officer used false information to obtain a warrant, but as it stands he was acquitted of the criminal charge and the county was found liable civilly, which is also fair because there clearly was negligence, just not necessarily to a criminal degree (which again wasn't a factor in the criminal trial anyway.)

Basically all other police officers are saying she should be locked up for a long time.

source?

It's really quite baffling how much misinformation there is around this story. Regardless, the officer seems at fault and nothing released so far makes her seem not deserving of punishment. Oh and lol @ Shaun King. Why not link to the actual reporter and not that scumbag?

This shows the changing story of the cops when it comes to this case, and he unlike many reporters are not taking her word for it .

It certainly raises a case for the viability of raids in general. Just like civil forfeiture came under suspicion because it was being abused.

That didn't answer my question at all. I asked "Why not link to the actual reporter and not that scumbag?" not "Why did you link to the rumor at all?".

King linked to too different reports .

So link to both? I don't know why anyone would continue to give Shaun King the time of day after the Sherita Dixon-Cole thing.

I just saw something on the news that said she was lying and banging on the door demanding to be let in. Someone @ me with the details. So much contradicting testimony in this case.

Her original account was that she was struggling with the lock to get in, and did not see his mat because she had bags in her hands.

Neighbors who heard the entire thing said she was banging on his door, demanding to be let in and very soon after shot him, they made no mention of her saying to put his hands up.

She later changed her story to say that the door was unlocked and slightly open and then fully opened when sh inserted her key. She saw a big black shadow and he disobeyed her commands, fearing the big black man she shot him. Of coourse how she managed to take out her gun with all those vision impairing bags before the black boogeyman rushed her is anyone's guess.
---

That is a good point. If she had so many bags that she didn't see a red rug. Then how would she have not known it was her house. Since she had to put down the bags and pull out the gun, and order him to do something in his own home.
