Brickbat: The Games People Play

A St. Louis, Missouri, police officer has been charged with involuntary manslaughter after shooting and killing another officer. Nathaniel Hendren and another officer, who has not been named, were on duty when they went to Hendren's home, where they were joined by officer Katlyn Alix, who was off duty. Hendren shot Alix, who died later at a hospital. The police department initially described the shooting as accidental. Prosecutors now say Alix and Hendren were playing a Russian roulette-type game where they pointed the gun at each other and pulled the trigger.

Code of Silence?
Bullshit. They're covering up a domestic violence incident.
Possible,cops do commit d.v. at a very high rate.
My first thought as well. There are few workplaces as incestuous as a police department.
Do ya ever get the feeling that your contributing editor is in a time loop that is a few days behind our time? This story is what? 5...6 days old? CAO Gardner has already had to send a letter to the PD telling them to stop monkeying around with the evidence. Tru to keep up Chuck.
Give him a break. It takes a few days for news to reach Georgia.
Journalist integrity? Perhaps Charles is trying to verify before spreading misinformation.
More Russian influence in America.
Lefties want to make CCCP great again!
Hopped up on PCP.
So if a cop kills a cop they don't have immunity?
It gets tricky because technically they're a cop killer so all other cops want to kill them.
Intersectionality came into play. Had he killed a cop with the same or lesser points he would have been fine.
Yeah, this sounds fishy. But he's a hero so...
Hero? I didn't hear that a dog was shot.
The article is not clear, but she could have been a bitch - - - - - - -
If that was true, one, that's nuts, and two, then the "victim" should have not been seen as a victim if both were actually doing a mutual (idiotic) game....
Since when does it 'sadden' a prosecutor to file charges against a murderer?
Is it possible to first hear the civil suit before the criminal one so that hopefully there is some money for the victim's family? Because, surely, there will be none left after the criminal case.
This is an "old " story already. Even so, it is shocking that the police are calling this a "hold my beer and watch this" case. Just for starters, that's not how you play Russian Roulette. Here, let me show you...
Sounds like a good start.
Alix and Hendren were playing a Russian roulette-type game where they pointed the gun at each other and pulled the trigger.
What *fun*!
The Deer Hunter comes to mind.

"Russian roulette-type game"
Well, was it russian roulette or not? That game has specific rules.
One of the first is you do NOT use your semi-automatic service weapon!
Russian roulette-type game where they pointed the gun at each other and pulled the trigger.! really inhuman to kill someone for a game.
