Admittedly, the article is short on facts and the body cams aren’t evident. Obviously, there are a lot of facts not in evidence. I mean, I wasn’t there. So, I probably shouldn’t have said that the cops were “justified.” However, I have to ask myself what I would have done, if a crazed woman had run out of her house at me with a hammer? I’m pretty confident that a “career” police officer (Sergeant) with fourteen years of experience, wouldn’t risk his career and (certainly not his liberty) just to shoot some crazie without justification. That’s illogical!
There is bodycam video on YouTube. She is as inside her home, standing far enough back from the CLOSED storm door that she is not visible in the video. The nearest officer was standing on her front porch, at least three feet back from the CLOSED storm door, and fired through it.
“However, I have to ask myself what I would have done, if a crazed woman had run out of her house at me with a hammer?”
She never left her house. They shot her through the door.
What color panties you wear and what size dress? A man would just take the hammer away from her. But to you Police, the answer to everything is a bullet.
