A) Hardly anyone wears a bullet-proof vest in an office, not even the police. (B) She was 17 years old, old enough to enlist in the armed forces and fight, not a little toddler as you so amusingly pictured and (C) you come at me with a deadly weapon and I’ll sure enough defend myself, up to and including deadly force. You guys can take this anti-cop horse$#*+ way too far, you know that?
I agree with the several posters who note that most prison C.O.'s wouldn't have pissed themselves when confronted by this very small woman.
The three cops needed way more training and way more control over their fear.
She made her bed. Again, come at me with a knife and see who wins. I don’t care if she was a midget or an Amazon. Plenty of diminutive men have killed scores in battle. Remember David and Goliath? Rush three armed men with a weapon and chances are you’re going to the cemetery.
With all due respect to your midget and biblical scenarios, I defer to the prison C.O.s on this one.
I’ve been a policeman and a bodyguard, for whatever that is worth. And how are those prisoners getting knives inside a jail or prison?
So what meds was she on for that bi-polar depression? It seems to be a common denominator in many or most of these incidents.
Where's the video? :)
Supposedly this is the scene of the barrage. At least one ceiling camera is visible. If the video somehow shows these three cops doing the only sensible thing. I'll stand corrected. Otherwise, I'll stick to my current assessment. (Poor training, unchecked emotion/fear)
City of Longview site hacked, allegedly by 'Anonymous'
Longview police say there's surveillance video of the incident which hasn't been released, but in the meantime, they're asking the public to simply, "respect the investigation." "Luckily our lobby does have surveillance cameras, so we will have some video, I'm not sure what the video contains," said Brian. (Spokewoman Kristie Brian, Longview Police)
Oh, look, you’re on the same side as the anarchist hackers at Anonymous and the ultra-lefties at Think Progress:

Tragic. May this child find peace and comfort in the arms of Jesus.
I say, "Poor training and unchecked aggression." I doubt any one of them felt "fear". They just wanted to maintain their peace.
And, it appears you're on the same side as those who support jack booted thug behavior.
I bet you're still turgid from reading this like "Chris" is. I wonder when the excitement will wane for you guys (2ndDV and Chris)?
Good. I don't want friends who get off defending the slaughter of a young girl.
I wasn't clear enough in terms of the police. I agree with what you say. What I meant to say is that there is a lot of second-guessing going on in regard to the police, by people who don't have a clue - did they have to shoot, did they shoot too many times, could they have waited for backup, could they have used a taser, etc. They are certainly questioning the ROE and, it seems to me, wanting to change the ROE - exactly like they did for our troops. And the results will be the same - more loss of American lives.
Yes, there are cops who act wrongly, but that doesn't mean they all do, and there are procedures in place to deal with bad-actors.
Great.
Piss off then, hippie.
Is "hippie" a slur because hippies are against slaughtering young girls?
Maybe a compliment is being called "Einsatzgruppenfuhrer"... LOL! :)
Do you really imagine that your foolish insults work on people?
