A routine visit by a U.S. Census Worker on Thursday evening turned deadly when Yuba City police officers shot and killed a woman they said had first threatened the worker with a gun, then later confronted officers with a shotgun.

I'd like to know what the surviving witness has to say.
This may be the most posted story in FR history (not that I’ve been here that long).
I though they have tasers now.
You don’t take a Taser to a gunfight
A Barstow, CA, police officer also “showed” a gun to a Obama worker when she came to the door happened early this week. Story got buried quickly.
She probably wasn’t a democrat, anyway. Now she won’t get counted. How about the guy? Anyway, no surprises here. Point a gun at police and you get shot. Suicide by cop.
I have had a census worker come to my door twice now.
First time was to ask if anyone was living next door. Now I know what is going on over there... the owner is in Iraq, and the wife is back east helping a very very ill family member. There has been no one home there in many months. Certainly there was no one there in March, or April. So I honestly tell the worker that no one was living there, with out saying anything else. Its none of his freakin business.
OK so that’s the end of that thinks I.
Then earlier this week he shows up again... asking if I will sign a statement, a proxy, for the homeowner saying no one was living there. I smile sweetly and ask him to elaborate. He does, and with my best cheery smile I say... “No”. He then proceeds to more or less ask me to do it again, and then a third time. I say “No” each time with my best smile. He starts to ask AGAIN and I interrupt him, because he isn’t taking “no” for an answer. I say, look, I am not constitutionally required to tell you anything about my neighbors, and I am not going to. You can go do some research and find the information for yourself and attempt to contact the owners, as that is public information... and he tells me he can’t do that. OK whatever. No, I am not signing a proxy or anything else, have a nice day. I shut the door and immediately lock it loudly.
If I see him again, I will do so armed and clearly state that if he does not get off my property inside the next two seconds I am calling the police.
Like I am gonna rat out my neighbor to make his job easier. NOPE.
I am a Census worker and I like the job. It is not easy but the money is pretty good. The people are pretty nice to me.
My favorite people to use for a proxy are the Senior Citizens. They really like doing their civic duty are always willing to help.
One of the best shows ever.
How disgusting of you. Why are you on FR??
Cops will rather shoot dead a home owner than back down and just walk away (from all the various threads posted here that could have been an option IMO - “OK m’am, take it easy, we’re getting off your property right now...” - would she have shot at them then?).
The hallmark of a police state.
So do you suppose they include the woman in the cenus?
Welcome to the 000.0001% of your peerage.
A woman Cenus woker visited my home this week ... She showed-up about 6:00 PM ... She was very nice and polite ... I took two plastic lawn chairs ... placed them on the driveway in the shade ... and I answered her questions ... A very nice, pleasant person ... NOT the Gestapo Obama Experience that I had expected ...
