THAT didn’t take long. I’m thinking that’s a record for filing suit.

Won’t go anywhere though.

We should not have our young people on these dangerous drugs to start with.

the teenager had exited the SUV and took what police described as a "shooting stance" while holding a replica handgun on the eastbound 91 Freeway...

Eyebrows raise.

A 17-year-old girl takes a "shooting stance"?

I'm thinking NOT.

Meanwhile, a unicorn flew over the scene excreting Skittles in the pattern of a rainbow...

[kiryandil]

Your analogy TOTALLY applies to the situation here.

NOT.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

That’s what I think. The only thing they’re good for is providing a revenue stream for the big-government/big-pharma criminal complex.

Depends on the mayor. Under de Blasio, NYC has had a record of issuing large settlements to blacks who sue the city. It’s essentially a vote-buying scheme by another name.

Police still did their job. They saw a weapon and did what they were trained to do, end of story. Most of the country is on some sort of psychoaffective medication, so antidepressant use is becoming a feeble excuse. There hasn’t been anything said about mental illness until this, so I’m doubtful about how severely it affected her.

highlights the need for the nation to do a better job in dealing with people affected by mental illness.

The news media is out there pretty much 24/7 encouraging mental illness with their support for perversion.

Used to be you only had 100 days to file a claim against a governmental entity in California

Or at least have the prescribing physician carefully monitor the response to the drugs. This sounds like a case of anti-depressants triggering some kind of psychosis and/or mania.

Moral of the story: Stupid Parents raise stupid and aggressive kid.

The decedent took the rental vehicle without permission.

[Nifster]

“Without first assessing the situation....”

Cra Cra, maybe high, pulls jack ass maneuver, jumps out of car, takes a stance with a gun in her hands....

Situation is dire....shot first ask questions later

Your thoughts are interesting, the video might be more relativent.

"It is our belief that the officer who shot Hannah violated Fullerton Police Dept. policies and procedures given the way he handled what certainly would have been determined to be a felony stop after she made purposeful contact with his vehicle," the family's attorney, S. Lee Merritt, said in a written statement. Williams' family said the teenager was on antidepressants and their attorney told the media that the shooting highlights the need for the nation to do a better job in dealing with people affected by mental illness.

Gotta side with the family on this one. The only problem was the sign she had around her next that said "Hi, I'm the mentally depressed asshole that tried to kill you with my car! Please don't shoot me if I assume a shooters stance.

Love, Hannah The manically depressed psychotic that tried to kill you!

[Vendome]

Well, she may have been bipolar and drugs like xanax are necessary...

[Vendome]

Nope. She may very well have stopped taking the drug which reduced anxiety for someone bipolar.

They know there is somethig wrijg with themselves and know they are fine at the same time...

So Dad didn’t properly secure the keys in a safe and drain the gas. That’s what you have to do with a Constitutionally protected firearm in CA.

Hard to imagine this get past the preliminary stage! Pretty obvious this was a train wrecking looking for a place to happen and it is pretty hard to place the blame on the “place”

[jospehm20]

Yep. That should be the end of it.
