Who's Accountable?

Last Saturday morning three police officers were shot & killed. This was marked as a very tragic day in the city of Pittsburgh.

Richard Poplawski, 23-year-old, killed three police officers, evidently out of fear that his guns were going to be taken away. He was a supremacist who frequented one of the most popular neo-Nazi websites and harbored great anger for the federal government. Hearing some of these details, the young man was very disturbed.

According to a criminal complaint, Poplawski's mother called police shortly after 7 a.m., saying she wanted her son out of the house "because he was giving her a hard time." She said she had awakened and confronted him after discovering that a dog had urinated on the floor, and the two had argued.

Police then responded to the house for a domestic call. The over all outcome, three police killed & two injured.

I raise these questions.

1. Why did the police not know that he had guns in the home?
Did the dispatcher not do her job or do the the dispatchers need additional training?

2. Why didn't the mother press the issue that her son had weapons in the home? She had to of known that he had the guns. I think that she is at fault.

3. Did the police have bullet proof jackets on?
Shouldn't they be trained to prepare for the worst? You never know what you are going to get into in domestic disturbances. People have obtained guns without having the guns legally registered.

4. Why didn't the mother get her son psychiatric help? It is obvious that that her son was disturbed.

5. Where is dad? Just because your son is grown, doesn't mean you stop being a parent.

In addition to Poplawski, do you think any one else is also accountable? I want to hear from you.
