Aw man, I just shot Marvin in the face

When you walk into a room wearing a numb expression and utter, "my father shot and killed a woman last night" it is normally best to preface that statement with "my dad is a police officer."

My dad is a police officer. He shot and killed a woman last night.

Quick summary: woman robbed a convenience store at gunpoint, stole a car, cops see her speeding, high speed chase, fled to apartment complex, woman tried to break in and started shooting at a mother and her son, started shooting at my dad and another officer, my dad shot her.

Now, I've never been very much of a "go local law enforcement" person. Cops annoy me just as much as the next person. I don't even like the TV show "Cops." But this is my dad. So at the moment the media is pissing the shit out of me with their insinuations.

And you know what the crazy bitch stole from the convenience store? The thing that set this whole thing in motion? After an investigation, detectives revealed that the only thing stolen was a 6-pack of beer. A fucking 6-pack of beer. Now, while NDC may argue that alcohol is as worthy a thing to die over as, say, the life of a child, the thought that comes to my mind is, "Are you fucking kidding me?!" All you did was steal beer, and then you go and jack a car and start shooting at innocent kids. The minute the cops started tailing your ass, you could have just pulled over; it's just fucking beer. And at that point they didn't even know what you'd done, you were just speeding, albeit in a stolen car. I mean seriously, what the fucking fuck? You don't get shot and killed for stealing beer. If you're going to die committing a crime it had better be some serious James Bond-type shit. We're talking swiping the Crown Jewels
