Winter Park, FL — Bobbie Sapp, 49, is a registered nurse, who has no criminal past. Despite never having committed a crime, because of the backward justice system in America, coupled with violent police welfare checks, Sapp is now facing the possibility of life behind bars.
On the night in question, Sapp had done nothing wrong, had committed no crime, and harmed no one—yet police broke into her home, raided her bedroom as she slept, and shot her. Then, they had the audacity to arrest her and charge her with multiple felonies.
Sapp’s nightmare began in September of 2017 as she slept comfortably in her own bed in her own home. Instead of waking up to her alarm that fateful morning, Sapp would wake up to multiple shadowy figures surrounding her in her bedroom, pulling off her covers, yelling at her, tasering her, and eventually, shooting her.
Sapp is so confident that she did nothing wrong that she went on camera recently with News 6 Orlando to tell her side of the story. It is nothing short of shocking. She says the entire incident began because her disgruntled ex-boyfriend used a police welfare check to deliberately harm her. It worked.
“He used this wellness check as a way to put me in harm’s way,” she said.
Indeed, instead of actually investigating the situation by knocking on the door, calling her, or any other number of non-violent means, cops helped this man — who did not live in the house and could have been anyone — break in to her home and then shoot this woman on his behalf.
“My girlfriend was threatening suicide last night, I just came to the house and trying to get in,” Sapp’s ex-boyfriend told the 911 operator.
Sapp says these were all lies. If she actually wanted to kill herself, she could’ve used one of the two guns which she regularly sleeps with. She did not.
“She is very well armed,” Sapp’s ex-boyfriend told the 911 operator when asked if Sapp had a gun.
“She’s threatened suicide by cop before,” he said.
There is no record of Sapp ever attempting to commit suicide by herself or by cop before. Also, if she was trying to commit suicide by cop that night — she would have had to call the cops. She did not call the police.
“I was asleep in my bed. I was not at all contemplating a suicide or suicide by cop,” Sapp told News 6.
Nevertheless, police show up to the home and start taking directions from Sapp’s ex, who did not live there.
“There’s one way into the house to crawl through a window and I don’t want to do that at this point. I want someone here with me,” Sapp’s ex-boyfriend said during the call.
When police arrived on scene, Sapp’s ex showed them how to break into the home and they followed his directions.
“I’m asking if there’s any weapons in the house, he tells me there’s enough weapons in the house to start a revolution,” officer Jeff Marcum, one of the responding officers, said according to an interview obtained by News 6.
Those weapons consisted of two pistols recovered from Sapp’s bed after she’d been shot.
Police claim that when they were breaking into Sapp’s home that they announced themselves as cops. However, when they got to Sapp’s bedroom, they admit that they did not announce themselves and she was still sleeping. She had no idea they were police.
“We’re yelling at her to, you know, let us see your hands, let us see your hands,” Marcum said.
Because the innocent woman who was just shaken out of sleep by heavily armed strangers in her bedroom, did not immediately begin to prostrate herself at the feet of her home invaders, force was escalated.
“I didn’t have my glasses on, I’m legally blind,” Sapp said. “I couldn’t identify anybody, but I remember there being shadows figures standing in my room. They pulled the covers off me.”
“At that point when she pulled the cover, Ms. Sapp immediately came up with a handgun and pointed it right at us,” Marcum told investigators.
Sapp disputes the notion that she ever pointed a gun. She says that had she actually pointed a gun, she would be dead because more than one of the cops would’ve fired their guns.
“If I had been pointing my gun, the way they said that I was, why didn’t they all shoot me, instead of just one person?” Sapp asked. Indeed, as TFTP has reported on a regular basis, cops are more than willing to shoot someone for merely reaching for areas where there may be a gun. If you actually point a gun at a cop, especially four of them, rest assured, you are going to be filled with holes immediately.
Instead of shooting her, one cop deployed his taser. Marcum, apparently scared of his own shadow then did what the other officers in the room never felt necessary: he pulled out his gun and put a bullet into Sapp.
This innocent woman, who had harmed no one, was asleep in her own bedroom, and did nothing wrong, was then shot in the shoulder and arrested.
“It doesn’t make any sense that they would come in that way unless they were lied to by somebody that was using this well-being check as a tool to put me in harm’s way,” Sapp said. “To process that has been really, really difficult. It’s something that could happen to anyone.”
Despite the fact that not a single cop was injured, and the fact that Sapp never fired of a round, and the fact that she was the one who was shot, this woman was arrested and charged with the following felonies:
Att. First Degree Murder Of Leo W/firearm Att. First Degree Murder Of Leo W/firearm Agg. Assault On A Leo (w/ A Deadly Weapon) Aggravated Assault With A Deadly Weapon Aggravated Assault With A Deadly Weapon Aggravated Assault With A Deadly Weapon Resisting Officer With Violence
Sapp, whose trial begins this month, now faces the possibility of life behind bars for attempting to defend herself against multiple armed home invaders who happened to wear badges. All of this, of course, was carried out for her own safety.
I fail to see what possibly could be gained by the police making a wellness check in the dark. A phone call, a knock on the door after say 8 AM? Or putting a cruiser in the driveway blocking any exit by vehicle until the lady comes out, or begins her day. There is no right in the police action on this night, and a whole lot of wrong.

The report was that the woman was armed and had been threatening to commit suicide by cop.
A PHONE CALL... Are you armed and threatening to commit suicide by cop? Can we come over to talk about it?
A KNOCK ON THE DOOR AFTER 8 a.m. ... She answers blam! blam!! Oh, the report was serious?
The cops have the advantage making silent entry in the dark and approaching the subject sleeping in her bed. This is especially true if they deploy night vision equipment.
Winter Park police officer shoots armed woman threatening suicide, police say
Woman's injuries non-life-threatening, could face charges
WINTER PARK, Fla. – A Winter Park police officer shot a woman Sunday morning after she pointed a gun at the officer, officials said.
The shooting happened after police responded at 8:27 a.m. to a well-being check on Bobbie Sapp, 46, who had been threatening to commit suicide by cop at 1313 Buckingham Road, according to the Winter Park Police Department.
Officers were told that the woman had multiple firearms inside her home.
Winter Park police Sgt. Garvin McComey said officers tried to talk with the woman, who started pointing a gun at one officer. Officers tried to subdue the woman with a Taser, but she continued to point the weapon, police said.
The officer shot her in the right shoulder after she did not respond to several commands to put the gun down, he said.
The woman was taken to an area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, McComey said.

It happened 8 a.m. on a Sunday in September 2017. While Sapp was fast asleep in the Winter Park home she rented, her ex-boyfriend was calling Winter Park police.
"My girlfriend was threatening suicide last night, I just came to the house and trying to get in," Sapp's ex-boyfriend told the 911 operator.
It was a five minute, 34 second call that Sapp said changed her life.
"She is very well armed," Sapp's ex-boyfriend told the 911 operator when asked if Sapp had a gun.
"She's threatened suicide by cop before," he said.
"I was asleep in my bed. I was not at all contemplating a suicide or suicide by cop," Sapp told News 6.
When police arrived, Sapp's ex showed them how to enter the house, according to an interview with officer Jeff Marcum obtained by News 6.
"There’s one way into the house to crawl through a window and I don't want to do that at this point. I want someone here with me," Sapp's ex-boyfriend said during the call.
One officer lifted a kitchen window, leaned in and used a clothing hanger to unlock the back door, according to police.
Meanwhile, Marcum was still getting information from Sapp's ex.
"I'm asking if there's any weapons in the house, he tells me there's enough weapons in the house to start a revolution," Marcum said.
Then the three officers made their way into the house, through the living room, and finally to Sapp's bedroom where they see her sleeping.
"I'm thinking about the call suicide by cop," Marcum says during the interview.
Marcum, a 23-year-veteran with the Winter Park Police Department, describes in an interview with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement what happened next.
"We're yelling at her to, you know, let us see your hands, let us see your hands," Marcum said.
"I didn't have my glasses on, I'm legally blind," Sapp said. "I couldn't identify anybody, but I remember there being shadows figures standing in my room. They pulled the covers off me."
"At that point when she pulled the cover, Ms. Sapp immediately came up with a handgun and pointed it right at us," Marcum told investigators.
Sapp admits she slept with two guns. She and her ex had been in a fight the night before and she feared it was him coming back to the house, she said.
Hey check this out. The call to police was at 8 a.m.
Yeah, I know it was 8 a.m.
How did YOU arrive at "night vision equipment"?
The cops have the advantage making silent entry in the dark and approaching the subject sleeping in her bed. This is especially true if they deploy night vision equipment.
I mean, aside from the body cam "found footage" I presented lol
Silly me, I read the Matt Agorist thread article and did not fact check his "reporting" that it was night. I know better than to believe a word written by that source, but don't have the time to check his each and every statement.

If, when responding to the thread article, you knew it was 8 AM, why did you talk about the police making a wellness check in the dark?

Okay, we've established that it is 8 am.
The real question is...how did you go from a phone call being a bad idea...and a knock on the door being a bad idea...to the rather bizarre idea of having them go in like Seal Team 6?
And we have established that your conflicting claims said you knew it was 8 a.m. and then went on the say it was dark.
The real question is...how did you go from a phone call being a bad idea...and a knock on the door being a bad idea...to the rather bizarre idea of having them go in like Seal Team 6?
They went in prepared to meet an armed person who reportedly threatened to commit suicide by cop. You may approach that by giving advance notice that you are coming, and arrive with a sympathy blanket to put around her. Or you may delay, as you suggested, inviting a negligence lawsuit.
Blindness was not the best defence for pointing a gun at the police. She should have gone with being suicidal.

Is that your vision for America?
Any joker can make a 911 call, stand outside of any house, and direct military police into the house while the occupants sleep?
You're gonna fit right in to the Pope's New World Order.

Of course, police respond to the report they receive and not to the Monday morning quarterbacking of some lying gobshite on a website.
Or as Matt Agorist would put it, they put her in jail with no bond for no reason at all.
You're gonna fit right in to the Pope's New World Order.
Of course, there is no indication that the Pope in particular, or Catholics in general, (or Jews, Muslims, ordinary Protestants or Fundies) had diddly squat to do with this case. That is just like the rest of your nutty drivel. Go write a wacko book about the Revelation.
