Police Arrive To Save Mother Of 3 From Being Hurt By Spouse, End Up Killing Her And Seriously Injuring Man..

Nothing like call­ing the Rambo cow­boys in because some­one is threat­en­ing to kill anoth­er in a domes­tic sit­u­a­tion .….……but has­n’t yet, at least. And what do the Rambo cow­boys do? Critically wound the per­son threat­en­ing harm and killing the inno­cent vic­tim that was being threatened.
Ends well, right?
Well, if you ask the peo­ple who stu­pid­ly believe that the answer to America’s police prob­lems is to mil­i­ta­rize the police fur­ther and not to defund them, employ more pro­fes­sion­als trained in de-esca­la­tion and domes­tic dis­putes, you will find a way to make the argu­ment that this was a pos­i­tive outcome.
It is clear­er by the day that the old cliché “give a man a ham­mer and every­thing becomes a nail” is appro­pri­ate when talk­ing about American police.
These guys show up in a hur­ry look­ing for every rea­son to dis­charge their ser­vice weapons. What their actions are demon­strat­ing is a blood-lust that dri­ves them into look­ing to dis­charge their weapons mul­ti­ple times at a sin­gle per­son, then seek to jus­ti­fy doing so.
We see this hap­pen­ing even when they arrive at a scene where they are in no dan­ger because they have all the oppor­tu­ni­ty to take cov­er and spend the nec­es­sary time talk­ing down a per­son going through a men­tal cri­sis; they quick­ly decide that fir­ing a bar­rage of bul­lets into the per­son is a bet­ter out­come than wait­ing to allow a per­son trained in deal­ing with men­tal health sit­u­a­tions to arrive. This is what has been legit­imized into accep­tance in America, sim­ply mak­ing it offi­cial for police to become on-the-spot exe­cu­tion­ers to dis­pose of peo­ple they do not want to deal with.
People of col­or, poor whites, peo­ple suf­fer­ing men­tal break­downs, peo­ple with devel­op­men­tal dis­abil­i­ties, they sim­ply kill them then cre­ate a justification.
They did this to 21-year-old Ryan Leroux, who was expe­ri­enc­ing a men­tal break­down in Maryland days ago. Ryan Leroux had just lost his grand­moth­er, his job, his long­time girl­friend, liv­ing out of his car, and was hav­ing a men­tal breakdown.
He was at a McDonald’s dri­ve-through alleged­ly with a gun on the seat of his car. Police arrived and spent some time talk­ing to him, he threat­ened no one, but that did not stop the police from fir­ing a report­ed 25-bul­lets into his car, essen­tial­ly turn­ing his car into a coffin.

THIS IS HOW THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA CHARACTERIZED THIS LATEST KILLING

Officer gunfire may have killed the mother of 3 in hostage standoff, San Antonio police say

An hours-long hostage stand­off in San Antonio end­ed with police crit­i­cal­ly wound­ing an armed sus­pect ear­ly Tuesday morn­ing and appar­ent­ly killing a moth­er of three with errant gun­fire, author­i­ties announced Wednesday.

“This is an extreme­ly trag­ic event for all involved, and I give my deep­est con­do­lences to the chil­dren and fam­i­ly of the deceased vic­tim,” San Antonio Police Chief William McManus said dur­ing a press conference.

McManus iden­ti­fied the vic­tim as 29-year-old Neida Tijerina.

“Officers dis­cov­ered that Ms. Tijerina had died from a gun­shot wound,” he said. “The Bexar County Medical Examiner per­formed an autop­sy this morn­ing. While they can­not yet con­clu­sive­ly state that Neida died as a result of the offi­cers fir­ing on the sus­pect, the phys­i­cal evi­dence appears to sup­port that conclusion.”

A spokesman with the med­ical exam­in­er’s office said Thursday that Tijerina’s cause of death is “bal­lis­tic injury of the chest,” and her man­ner of death as “homi­cide.”

McManus said police respond­ed to an apart­ment com­plex at about 9 p.m. on Monday “for a sui­ci­dal male threat­en­ing to kill his com­mon-law wife,” who was with her three young children.

When they arrived on the scene, McManus said police learned it was a hostage sit­u­a­tion. The sus­pect, Angel Sanchez, 28, was armed with a shot­gun and wear­ing body armor. Sanchez had a his­to­ry of domes­tic vio­lence and “indi­cat­ed to fam­i­ly that he was going to kill Ms. Tijerina and then kill him­self,” McManus said.

Police then called for addi­tion­al units, includ­ing SWAT and a hostage nego­tia­tor. Officers estab­lished a perime­ter and evac­u­at­ed near­by res­i­dents, McManus said. Sanchez then exit­ed the apart­ment and point­ed a shot­gun at officers.

“Sanchez was heard taunt­ing offi­cers try­ing to get them into a con­fronta­tion,” McManus said, and attempts to de-esca­late with him were unsuccessful.

Tijerina exit­ed the apart­ment but would not go with the police because “her chil­dren were still inside, and she did not want to leave them alone,” McManus said.

Sanchez then stepped out of the apart­ment a sec­ond time, hold­ing an infant, but then went back inside.

That’s when three offi­cers got on a roof of a near­by apart­ment build­ing, McManus said. Sanchez then exit­ed a final time and point­ed the shot­gun at offi­cers on the ground, police said.

“The three offi­cers who were pro­vid­ing cov­er from the roof opened fire on Sanchez, strik­ing him. Sanchez dropped his shot­gun, and offi­cers approached to take him into custody.”

That’s when offi­cers dis­cov­ered Tijerina dead inside the apart­ment, McManus said.

“I want to assure Neida’s fam­i­ly and the com­mu­ni­ty that this inci­dent will be inves­ti­gat­ed in its entire­ty,” McManus said but added that body cam­era video of the inci­dent would not be released because it involved domes­tic violence.

Tijerina’s three chil­dren ranged in ages from 3 months to 15-years-old and were unharmed, police said. Sanchez is described as the father of the baby.

Sanchez, who was crit­i­cal­ly wound­ed, is charged with three counts of aggra­vat­ed assault of a pub­lic servant.

NBC affil­i­ate WOAI in San Antonio spoke with Tijerina’s sis­ter, Jasmine.

She told the news out­let she was strug­gling to process what happened.

“Everything’s just … it’s a lot of emo­tions,” she said. “It’s just hard for me right now.”

David Thomas, a pro­fes­sor of foren­sics stud­ies at Florida Gulf Coast University, worked as a police offi­cer for 20 years in Michigan and Florida, doing duty in SWAT and as a negotiator.

Domestic vio­lence calls are gen­er­al­ly con­sid­ered among the most dan­ger­ous for police, Thomas said, and there are many fac­tors that could have led to Tijerina’s death.

“It’s a night­mare sce­nario,” Thomas said.

He said that even if all three offi­cers who fired at Sanchez had hit him, a bul­let could have gone through his body and struck Tijerina.

Thomas said using a weapon while on duty can be tax­ing psy­cho­log­i­cal­ly, but acci­den­tal­ly shoot­ing some­one is a “worst-case sce­nario” for an officer.

“He or she feels absolute­ly respon­si­ble for that loss of life,” Thomas said. “They car­ry that bur­den with them. (NBC reported)»»»»»
