We must stop putting our youth on these monstrous pills.

It's not just the kids.

Total Number of People Taking Psychiatric Drugs in the United States

Grand Total: 80,233,280

That's the entire Democrat Party, plus a few more unaffiliated.

Btw, I'm mentioned half dozen times there are independent witnesses who stated she was gripping the gun with both hands, pointing right at the cop.

I love ya, dragnet2, but I don't read your every post.  winking face

This was a clear justified shoot if there ever was one.

Under "confrontation policing" rules, I'll have to agree.

I'm less convinced under "let's pretend we're not in Iraq" rules.

Did you listen to the video released by the Fullerton PD a week after the shooting?

transcript:

01:19 in video
I'm Lieutenant Jon Reyes, public information officer for the Fullerton Police Department.

I'm going to provide you with a brief overview of an incident that occurred on Friday, July 5th, 2019 at around 7 pm.

At that time, a Fullerton PD K-9 officer was on his way to take his K-9 partner to the veterinarian hospital because of an injury he sustained on a prior call.

As the officer was travelling eastbound on the 91 freeway approaching the Kramer Boulevard exit, he noticed a dark-colored SUV traveling past him at a high rate of speed in violation of the California Vehicle Code. Based upon the observed violation, the officer attempted to conduct a traffic stop.

As the officer attempted to stop the vehicle, the grey SUV appeared to have intentionally collided with his police car.

The driver then made an abrupt U-turn into oncoming traffic and came to a skidding stop facing the wrong way on the freeway.

Because of the erratic behavior of the driver, the officer requested emergency assistance from additional police officers.

You will now hear the police radio traffic as this incident was initiated...

Classic "confrontation policing".

"Noticed".

"Attempted to conduct a traffic stop".

In the stories I was hearing and reading, she just "collided with him", for no apparent reason.

I note the careful language here, that kind of dances around what was REALLY going on.

I'm saying this in light of the aggressiveness exhibited by the officer after the audio kicked in ["audio reboot"? WTF is that?].

Oh, here it is [audio reboot]:

Most officers don't record their entire shifts, though.

To save power and avoid wasting storage space on lunch breaks and driving, they typically start recording when they're about to interact with civilians.

Lest this result in missing something significant, most models have buffering systems, or "pre-record." As long as the camera is turned on, it's recording, but only in 30-second (or 60-second) intervals and usually without audio [source: NLECTC]. After 30 seconds, it deletes that footage and records another 30 seconds, and so on, until the officer hits "record." At that point, audio activates and everything gets saved, including the previous 30 seconds of buffered footage.

Pre-record footage can add valuable contextual information, or it could prove critical if an officer hits the "record" button late due to the urgency of the situation [source: Wells].
