Really?

That’s really what happened? Are we sure? How sure are we?

What words did the defendant's partner use? Why is nothing you learned in quotes? Quote somebody! You “learned” that the victim and defendant “were playing with firearms.” Who did you learn that from AND WHO SAID EXACTLY WHAT YOU DONUT MUNCHING MO-RON?! Sorry. Did the partner say words to that effect? The defendant?

Why was the on-duty defendant officer at home in the first place? Why did the off-duty victim officer go to the on-duty defendant officer’s house? What does the defendant's partner say about the house call? Why was he there? Was he on duty too? It's weird, isn't it Sarge, that two of your guy serve-and-protects were off duty at one of their houses when they were supposed to be on duty, like, you know, out on the streets, waiting for a lone female off duty cop to come over? To do what, Sergeant Helmeier?! 

Why do you call it "playing with firearms"? Doesn't this specific kind of play have a name: Russian roulette? Or is it something else when the subject officer points the revolver away and pulls the trigger and the victim officer then points the revolver at the subject officer--who's in full uniform with a vest, do we presume?--and pulls the trigger and the subject officer then points the gun at the victim officer’s UNPROTECTED chest and fucking KILLS HER?! Maybe, I don't know, maybe what you call that is MURDER!

WHO GAVE YOU THAT PRECISE DESCRIPTION OF THE SEQUENCE, Sergeant Hellmeier? Not the partner, right? Since he got “uncomfortable,” sorry, that shouldn’t be in quotes, it’s your SOP to not quote people, the partner told the two players words to the effect of, you shouldn't be playing with guns, you're police officers; he felt, words to the effect of, uncomfortable at the playing; said words to the effect of he didn't want any part of it and LEFT THE ROOM, right?

Boy, Sarge, I have some questions hahahahaha.

Like, was this a scheduled play date of Russian roulette? Like every Tuesday at 10 pm when you're off duty and I'm on duty you come over to my house when I'm on duty for a game of Russian roulette? Did she call or text, "Omw!" Were there any preliminaries to the main event? Like, I don't know, "hide the salami"? Sorry, maybe as a cop you don't know what "hide the salami" means like you don't know, apparently, what Russian roulette means. It means "playing Russian roulette with his dick in her pussy."

More questions sorry!

Is that effective policing to tell police officers that they're police officers? I don't know seems like they'd know that but that's just me.

And, I don't quite understand what you learned from the partner that he didn't want any part of. Like, it doesn't seem to me from your comprehensive narrative that the partner was any part of it to begin with, know what I mean? Like he was just standing there watching them like a voyeur while they were playing with guns and salami; that neither his, the partner's, salami nor his gun were ever in play. Both were holstered. That the manslaughtering weapon was never pointed at him (partner) nor by him. That he was not playing with anything. So basically I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE FUCK HE WAS PART OF TO NOT WANT TO BE PART OF. If you catch my drift.

Who called 9/11 and what was said?

Sounds like you're master of the case, Sarge.
