Do you think the police were wrong to use lethal force?


26 y/o Ashley DiPiazza from Wisconsin was shot ELEVEN times in 2014 because she had a Gun to her head and was going to commit suicide...and now a federal jury has awarded 7 million in damages to her family because the 2 police officers, though cleared of criminal liability, used unreasonable force to shoot her!!

The civil lawsuit was brought upon her parents after Ashley was holed up in her apartment with a gun to her head..

Justin Bailey and Gary Pihlaja were cleared of criminal liability after they shot her multiple times

Ashley's family said that the officers shot her even though she threatened no one but herself and that police had violated DiPiazza's constitutional rights against unreasonable search and seizures when they killed her.

The police were called to her apartment when her bf said hey had a heated "relationship-ending" argument and Ashley was drinking and had a gun to her head..

They arrived and Ashley had a gun pointed to her own head and after attempting ot talk her down for 30 minutes with the help of a negotiator, both officers shot her 11 times...

Officers testified that they shot her when she refused to ignore their commands to drop the weapon..

In the end, the jury said the officers used unreasonable force when trying to subdue her and the family received 7 million

Unlike other criminal trials, the family only had to convince the jury that their claims are true and Ashley's parents were happy to hear that the jury understood that lethal force should not have been used as they wanted justice for Ashley.

But Jim Palmer said that this verdict sends a disconcerting message to officers because it will lead them to second guess which would put them at risk...

Do you think the Officers were Wrong to use Lethal Force?
