I hope justice is served to whomever it needs to be.

...but you're pretty sure whomever that is, it's not the cops.

I hope when you eventually realize police aren't to be trusted it's not that you dug in your heels all the way until you had a tragic encounter with them that actually affected you. That seems to be the threshold for a great many folks, and it's a huge contributor to the slow progression of police reform.

Good day to you.

Hmm, no. Obviously, they admit to shooting her.

The question is, was it an accident? Negligence? or premeditated? Consequences should follow once that's been determined.

In the context of a shootout with someone in the vehicle she came from (initially reported as possibly her), and with either mistaken identity or reason to believe she may have been armed, it's going to be hard to say that they intentionally caused her death.
