"I said you're fine until I kill you," her caretaker said with Rio Rancho officers present in the room.

Woman calls the police saying she thinks her caregiver is going to kill her and to get her out, the cops come, complement her caregiver’s weapons, and leave; hours later, the caregiver kills her.

Wow. American police really are just an execution and cleanup crew. Just have a chat and compliment someone who is accused of being a danger on their weapons, ignore the victim begging them to stay and help, and then blame the victim and lie.
- They are not a cleanup crew. They just look at the mess. The mess stays after they’re gone.
  
  True dat
  
  Sure although someone was supposed to call in the cleanup crew and as police do determine when a crime scene stops being their topic, maybe they should be informing everyone about that or at least help with communicating that transition. It’s not like we’re comparing communication as the same as cleaning it up.
- My friend's neighbor shot himself in the bathroom of the house he was renting. After the police left, my friend and the landlord that owned the two properties had to clean his brains off of the bathroom walls and mop up a puddle of blood. My friend got a free month rent for helping the landlord.
  
  This is America.
  
  ... Only a free month? After cleaning up brains? I hope there was also some pay for therapy.
  
  Not sure what that has to do with the police, but they should have recommended a company to to help with cleanup at least.
  
  Sorry, but cleaning up a suicide isn't the job of the police, or even EMT beyond a certain point. This is why crime scene cleaning companies exist.
I’m getting confused reading this. Did Cardana threaten to kill Fannel in the presence of the police, and the police just decided to leave?
- He threatened to kill her after the cops said they had to leave. The victim told the cops that the perpetrator just threatened her. The perpetrator then told the cops to fuck off and they just did.
  
  Man, to be able to just tell cops to fuck off, and have them listen?
Fucking worthless PIGS
Knowing Rio Rancho, these officers will probably get a parade.
Jesus Christ, that was a dark article.
Bury these cops.
- Paid leave while they investigate themselves?
  
  You got it.
That article does not state that they added to the caregiver's weapons.
- Complement as in "Hey nice guns." Not add to them.
  
  That's "compliment." @SpaceNoodle was subtly criticizing the misspelling.
  
  Condiment as in "Hey nice guns." Not saucing them.
  
  The word/homonym spelling you want in this case is 'compliment'.
- Should it?
  
  Only if OP's note is supposed to be accurate.
Is there another source? I can't semester to access this website

  Rio Rancho officers talk with Cardana about the firearms inside the home.
  
  “You’re a firearms guy?” an officer asked.
  
  “Oh, yeah,” Cardana said.
  
  “Nice,” the officer said.
  
  “They’re loaded. They’re ready to go,” Cardana said.
  
  “We don’t need to see them,” the officer said. “There’s one probably right there in that case. And I see another one over there.”
  
  The officer continued saying, “I like folks that have guns,” since he is a gun owner himself. As the officers begin to say their goodbyes to Cardana and Fannell, she begs them to stay at the home.
  
  You cannot make this stuff up.
