Car Thief Shoots at Police – Police Shoot Back & Kill Her – Family Angry

[WHO IS SERAFIN]

Maybe a little sit down around a campfire, sing some Kumbaya songs and we could have just straightened out this really well intentioned thug of a youth.

There have been many sordid police-criminal/non-criminal confrontations in recent years and we haven't shied away about condemning the police from time to time. However, recently in Atlanta, there was an incident where a family has come out in anger blaming police for the death of one of their own… and the police don't deserve the guilt trip.

Alexia Christian was a pretty, small-time criminal until the day she died in a hail of bullets with police in downtown Atlanta. She had been arrested several times for stealing cars and other various criminal activities, but this arrest would be different, because this time Alexia would be packing a firearm.

It all started when police in Fulton County pulled Christian over while she was driving a stolen Ford pickup truck. They arrested her, cuffed her and placed her into the back of their cruiser. Everything seemed normal until Christian managed to free one of her hands and grab a stolen gun that she must have concealed from officers, firing three shots at the police seated in front of her. She missed and the officers returned fire, killing the young woman. Major Darryl Tolleson of the Atlanta Police Department said that the two officers "missed getting killed by an inch."


Now the family of Alexia Christian is calling for the police officers who killed her to be punished because she didn't deserve to die. The family seems to believe that even though Christian was shooting at police, it was their own fault for not patting her down and making sure she wasn't carrying a weapon.

Seriously… it's not her fault she shot at police, it's their fault.

People need to accept responsibility for their actions. If my child does something wrong I will accept responsibility rather than blame someone else. One reason my boss trusts me so much, I always tell the truth even if I make a mistake and never try to cover anything up.
Young girl dead is a shame. No denying that. These consequences of her actions must be accepted rather than blamed on others.

Agreed.

And, this is the flip-side of the coin as to why I really, really want cop-cams. Yes, it WILL show some errant behavior from some cops,

but I'll bet the farm that cop-cams will show more, "Yup, yup...the cop did the right thing" and WILL work to cure what is currently ailing this country.


The Christian family is trying to jump on a bandwagon; unfortunately, in this case, they don't have a platform to piss on.

I originally was all gung ho for cops wearing cams. I can't say why exactly but that idea is now beginning to make me feel uncomfortable for some reason I can't exactly put my fingers on yet.
