    Watching a 20/20 about Gabby Petito's murder and getting pissed

    Most of you have sent he scene where the police stopped Gabby and Brian, talked it out with both, told them to separate for the night and let them go
    They had absolutely no proof that Brian had done anything but defend himself and even then no major physical evidence.
    They talked to young couple who had had an apparently minor scuffle where neither was really hurt. She said she started it and that he grabbed her in self defense. If true, he can do that. They took him, the reported victim, to a hotel and told Gabby to stay with the van.
    Both gabby and Brian are now dead he killed her at some point later in their trip and then himself later on.
    But the media wants someone to blame. There is Brian. But he be dead so they are bad mouthing the poor cops that actually did a good job. They feel like they should have arrested her but Brian wasn't hurt and didn't want that.
    I don't know why anyone wants to be a cop. These were good guys doing a good job.
    Worst of all they can some kind of forensic psychologist talk about the missed opportunity. And that the cops didn't understand DV.
    But the truth is almost certainly that they did exactly what they could. Had they arrested her and given her the van keys the next day she'd of still gone and picked him up. Had they held her the press would condemn them for that!
    She had no intention of seeking help based upon the video. The officers could know what they were looking at but had no proof. You cannot help people against their will but that is exactly what they want these officers to have done.

    It sickens me. But that's not enough 20/20 and others appear to be gunning for Brian's parents as well. Had she been alive and they refused to save her, maybe. But if they knew anything they knew that she was dead and they are parents.

    Brian was to blame and Gabby had every chance to ask for help, she was not ready.

    Why would anyone want to be a cop today? Maybe that's what needs to happen. People just refusing

    This one should be reported. It has absolutely nothing to do with the topic of this thread.
    @donttread, I agree with you. The police are not mind readers and if no one is willing to say they are being abused unless the police actually see an act they cannot do more than these officers did. So, until someone invents a devise that allows you to foretell future criminal acts there isn't much law enforcement can do.
    Devotion to the truth is the hallmark of morality; there is no greater, nobler, more heroic form of devotion than the act of a man who assumes the responsibility of thinking.”

    Lifetime is releasing a movie on Oct 1st

    The Gabby Petito Story explores Gabby and her fiancé Brian Laundrie’s complicated relationship and what may have gone wrong during their cross-country trip that resulted in Gabby’s tragic murder.

    Just a year later these slugs are going to put the family through this all over again for profit.

    Good work A&E Studios. Showing lots of class there.
    Let's go Brandon !!!

    This was a pre curser top that and they are going to pound on these cops who tried their best. If they'd of arrested Gabby the press would of gone after em for that. Maybe we all ought to start podcast critiquing reporters? I have wanted to before but really don't know how.
    Good lord who appointed these guys to find fault with everything done by everyone under real world conditions'
    Young couple appears to have escalated very, very quickly, which isn't common. He killed her in a fit of rage, went home to get his bearing and then killed himself. Not good enough!
    Now the cops and even parents must pay!
    We need to stop letting the press be outraged regardless of what goes down in any situation! Or at least hold them equally accountable.

    I just had a realization.
    If that police encounter had been the other way around. If the man was suspected of having assaulted the woman and she later killed him , this whole conversation would be entirely different! Even if she had killed him as things were the conversation would be different.
    Just something that hit me. I do NOT think that he did this is self defense , it may have started that way but this was not necessary. But burning bed defense would have certainly been part of the conversation the other way around.
    Percetion rules the world.
