Nope. The same old Texas and San Antonio. SA has been nearly 70% Hispanic as long as I’ve lived here (48 years)

So - 3 cops couldn’t get the upper hand and use non-deadly force against a single woman?
You find life way too cheap...

Not in San Antonio, mexicans have always been the majority in that town.

How it goes in a society where involuntary commitment for mental health treatment is eliminated.

“If three cops can’t deal with one woman armed with a hammer without shooting her, perhaps they’re in the wrong profession.”
Exactly right.

Not well handled, but murder charges are way over the top.

Time to bring back the classic police baton?

“Not well handled, but murder charges are way over the top.”
What would they have done if it was a civilian with a gun shooting someone with a hammer?
“Equal force” laws are for judging this exact unequal weapon situation. If it is unequal it is not self defense it is murder.
Aside from the fact it appears they were trying to enter her home without a warrant. All they had to do was stand down after she entered her home and get a warrant.
But what happened here was “Submit to superior authority or die”. And “let’s get this done because our shift is about over”.

And it wasn't Old School that was shot either. Makes a big difference. Three big armed to the teeth cops. One woman. I would have been ashamed. But that is what the Police do best. Shoot people and break old ladies with dementia bones.

So the police chief, not being there, made the diagnosis. Chief, stay in your own lane.

You and I agree, but we are in the minority. There are still oodles of jackboot lickers and holster polishers on FR.

This is San Antonio's Police Cheif.
He believes he is a third world tin pot dictator. And he dresses like one.

3 vs 1 middle aged woman. Yeah real tough situation. The kitties were in fear for their lives. Long enough for one to mag dump at air. Then finally get kill shots. No taser or retreat a bit nope let’s get our notches.

No, they just worship the Police. Everything the Police do is o.k. No matter how repulsive. From breaking an old lady with Dementia’s are to to entering the wrong house on Georgia and throwing a flash bang grenade into a crib with a sleeping infant.

Time to bring back the classic police baton? Its kind of hard to hit a suspect with a police baton when you are standing three feet, or more, away from her closed storm door, and she is standing as far inside her home, holding a hammer.

In my youth cops were able to handle many a situation without going for the gun. Many boasted about going a whole career without ever having to draw it in anger. Now we have a lot of trigger-happy agents of the state.
