Yes I'm being serious. It never seems like an issue until a cop is involved then you see everyone getting ticked. Why don't they get ticked at the random violence claiming children every day. A child gets killed in the cross fire of gangs and the cops cannot catch the shooter because everyone says No Snitch.

Because the police initiated this and bear the responsibility for the protection of civilians and children in their target area. It is the same as military operations in heavily civilian areas, are children injured by locals, yes, but we are there in a different role. In this case the police are there as a protector of society's rules, not as another gang enforcer, and as such they have a higher obligation. They can take due care to make sure their target is secluded, and they chose the time of this operation. There simply is no justification, barring the child drawing a weapon or the quantum physics book.

I understand all of that but my point is this happens eveyday but people just move on and ignore the issue. Just like people are blowing me off for asking the question. The death of this girl was an accident when the officers gun went off but we kids are shooting up neighbor hoods every night and its like no big deal.

I don't think people move on and ignore the issue; communities set up community outreaches like the one JoeRedskin had started the thread on, to try to reduce violence in the neighborhoods. BUT when the police overstep and kill a 7yo girl, a huge fuss should be made about it, there should be internal reviews to find out what can be changed. These men and women train constantly to prevent this situation, and when it occurs it should be seen as a tragedy, and citizens should ask did the police do everything right. otherwise, the police should have staked out the bldg, and apprehended the suspect when he came outside. You can't have it both ways where you gripe about the government helping a local neighborhood develop a center that promotes civil behaviour and than turn around and say the community needs to behave better when the cops shoot an innocent.
