Rogers police use force against woman

August 02, 2011- Rogers Officer kill’s Woman with knife...

A police officer in Rogers, Arkansas is on administrative leave, after fatally shooting a woman at a convenience store Monday.

Police say it started with a harassment call at a Shell Station in Rogers Monday morning. Then they say they got a 911 call and when officers got to the store at 8th and New Hope, they found a woman armed with a knife.

Police say the woman tried to attack one of the officers with a knife. Investigators say an officer then shot the woman, who was later pronounced dead.

Locals who work in this area say it's unusual. "This morning everything was normal," said Francisco Saenz who works across the street. He says he didn't think anything of it when he saw an officer walk into the Shell Station.

"A police officer went inside and then after a couple minutes a whole bunch of police detectives showed up."

Another woman, who didn't want to be identified, says that she's concerned about the area.

"I feel very strange because business is picking up and then after this thing happened I feel very strange."

Police Captain Wayne Schoch says the investigation continues and detectives took statements from witnesses.

And while doing that they combed the crime scene looking for clues while keeping everyone else out.

"Until the investigation is complete on both sides the state and ours, we will keep the scene closed off," said Schoch.

Rogers Police say they have placed the officer on administrative leave pending the investigation which they say is standard procedure.
The officer and the woman have not been identified.

If it was me, I would much rather use a tasser than shoot someone because I "thought" I was in danger. Filthy, violent social systems self-destruct.


Ours is working at it, big time.

The only people more violent than the deranged, hungry and desperate are the cops trained to detain, torture and kill people.

Ugh! This is not civilized society. It's a zoo. "I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts." Each group of people are turning on the other group. Doesnt matter who the group is ....it is "them". It is the "others". This was all prophesized to happen. And the reason is clear as to why it is happening.
Status and title and money and stuff don’t equal security or peace or happiness. But i guess people have to learn that the hard way.

Human beings CANNOT rule with the heavy hand. It always fails. Besides, everyone in Northwest Arkansas knows better than to bring a knife to a gun battle. After all these key stone cops will never play fair with what they call you the citizens. You citizens will show respect or you’ll wish to hell you had or die!
Times are just beginning to get hard and that is no excuse to rob from others in the first place even a threat with a knife can still kill if get close enough. All these keystone cops want respect and you can ask any of them and they will tell you that they have earned it and you will give it to them or they will teach you how in jail. Only if your able to make it to jail. Which as we all know is very few now days. Break a traffic law and be shot many times in your car just to make sure your not able to defend yourself. Then the keystone cop will still make up a story that is far from the truth, but still be found as justified by the Stone in office that runs the laws to charge or not charge these criminals.
Did you hear that everyone that is now a member of the Tea Party are now considered to be terrorists by even our vice president? Well, so called citizens of the USA, your all terrorists by those that feel they have power over your daily movement. It’s a shame to see how many killings have taken place in the last ten years alone here in Northwest Arkansas and all people do is complain and do nothing to fight back for themselves or those that were killed out of FEAR and bad training of officers that should not even be allowed to carry a taster let alone a gun! Fatal force used instead of less force. Why?
