Sure, it was suspicious...but the fact is, if he wasn't driving had not been witnessed driving intoxicated...then he didn't commit a crime and the police actually did the right thing by letting him go on about his business.
They had no idea he was going to do what he did, and his behavior around KCPD obviously did not warrant him being detained in any way.
You can't blame the cops - that's just stupid.
Probably because once he made contact with someone inside, they let him come in. That's what police are SUPPOSED to do - arrest someone as a LAST RESORT.
Dude went inside and, as for as KCPD was concerned, off 'the street' and no posing any imminent threat.
What Jovan Belcher did is on him and him ALONE.

Agreed, and my disdain for the cops inaction has less to do with what he would potentially do and more for the fact that he was treated differently because of what he does. Not even who he was. If anything, I hope it causes cops pause to take situations like this more seriously in the future. If they do their jobs then Belcher is embarrassed and possibly suspended. That doesn't mean Belcher doesn't kill her at some other time and point. He may have that is why it's not right to blame them for his actions. But we can ask why he was treated differently and demand that it not happen again. They work for us and should be accountable to us. |
Autopsy shows Belcher was drunk when he killed gf/himself
