Surveillance video shows deadly shooting of DC special police officer during training - Jesse Porter's attorney says he thought he had a training gun

[Reptile]

Newly-released surveillance video shows the moment a retired Washington, D.C., lieutenant shot and killed 25-year-old Maurica Manyan during police training at Anacostia Library last year.

The shooter was sentenced to three years in prison last month, according to FOX 5 DC, but the family wants more to be done.

"The Manyan Family is committed to making sure the public is granted access to the surveillance footage because the events that led to the death of Officer Manyan are a matter of grave public concern," a statement from attorney Chelsea Lewis of Lewis Law Esq. read.

So...
What do you think they learned in training that day?

On a scal of 1-10, how effective was the course material?

 

[PATRON]

He only got 3 years.

Three years for being stupid, and killing someone.Is that all a life is worth today?

 

[PATRON]

Not one person tried to render aid,the whole thing looked like a cluster fu^k.

 

[SKumar]

So "believing" that you had a dummy training gun lessens the sentence after "jokingly" whipping out a gun and pointing it at someone (and pulling the damn trigger nonetheless) leading to instant murder?

Also, RIP to the victim. That was life-ended in a flash for no reason. If only law-enforcement knew or cared about the 4 rules.

She was pregnant with his kid.

The whole situation was so improbable and absurd my second thought was he whacked her intentionally for some reason. The circumstances gave him plausible deniability and a shortish prison sentence.

My first thought was the dude must be a total moran.

As a former UoF trainer, how the ever loving F does this happen?

We set up 3 layers between the clean area and the 'hot' area. You had instructors search you, then peer pat downs, then enter the training area. We trained thousands every year, never even heard of something like this happening in my old group.

Almost had some 'bad' situations with live fire at night, but never in a 'no gun' zone.

I'm glad nothing like this ever happened before
