    Several people have said they saw an Independence police officer running with the injured Destinii in his arms to his police cruiser to take her to the hospital because he didn’t want to wait for an ambulance.

    You mean the ambulance that has tens of thousands of dollars of specialized equipment and trained medical personnel inside of it? Stupid fucking pigs.

      Amongst all the complaints, this isn’t one. I’m not certain how long it would take to drain a baby of a lethal amount of blood, but it would likely be only minutes in this case. If they arrived at the hospital close to the time that the ambulance would have arrived at the scene, their chauffeuring would have been a net positive.

      Gold star for the attempt, but gold star confiscated for obliterating a baby in the first place. In fact, -2 gold stars. Closest thing to a punishment they’ll get

        I did look it up, and you’re right. The nearest hospital from Oval Spring Apartments is about a 6 minute drive. So I guess that’s the bare minimum after you shoot a baby. But maybe not shooting people holding and/or near babies should be in the training that he apparently followed by the book, according to Independence’s police chief.

        It seriously is basic gun safety to be aware of the things that are around (usually behind) your target. Cops that don’t follow basic gun safety shouldn’t be considered to be properly trained when they shoot things other than their intended targets. But then again, I have a functional brain so I would never be able to become a cop.

      It can take quite a while for it to get there though. Sometimes the best case scenario is to meet the ambulance en route. A baby hit in the head would certainly be in that category. They’re dumb fucking assholes for shooting the baby but this part was probably the right move.
