I really fined it hard to believe that the officers were in that much danger that they had to use lethal force. This was a teenage girl. Could they have maybe tazered her first before just unloading on her with GUNS. If you ask me they should be repremanded and fired. There are alot of kids that live and play arround that park and there are houses and apartments on two sides of it. I think the officers were hugely more dangerouse to the neighborrhood with there actions then she was with hers. The Huntington Beach police seem to think they are in a police state and wield there power flagerantly.I as a resident of H.B. for the last 31 years am frankly tired of there power trip and there harrassment.

I saw this incident take place and know the girl who was shot. I saw her running away from her apartment this morning (before police arrived) and also saw her mother running after her. I also saw the girl after she was shot by the police.
I find the entire incident shocking and a disgusting show of unnecessary force by the police. This girl was extremely small (looked no more than fourteen or fifteen) and not physically imposing. The fact that two "trained" officers with weapons were unable to take her down without using lethal force is unacceptable.
She was standing in a wide open grassy area in the middle of an empty park/schoolyard early in the morning when they shot her. There was no one else close so there was no one to accidentally hit. Why couldn't they have used some other means to subdue this girl??? She was a small teenage girl who was not wearing shoes.
Totally unnecessary.
