“Stop resisting! Stop resisting!”
Did they shoot her little dog, too?
No tazer available I guess.
So where were the ubiquitous Tasers?
Personally, I think the penalty for attempted suicide should be death by lethal injection...
Oh, so now aggressively attacking a cop is not sufficient cause for using deadly force? Seriously?!!!
Tasers.
If only these cops had tasers, this woman would be alive.
Years ago, I would get blasted here for defending the use of tasers by LEO’s. Now it seems cops have quit using tasers and are electing to just murder people. Instead of simply disarming a nutty broad with a bat; they just shoot her dead.
Why didn’t a squad of cops bring their baseball bats to the ruckus? I’d have love to have seen the expression on that woman’s face if she could have seen them with their bats marching toward her.
So many killings, so many questions....
If it was “officers” (plural), why could not one one them tased her while the other backed up the first with deadly force? Or were they also expecting her dog?
Sounds like suicide by cop.
The only good thing that can be said here is that at least they shot the woman with the bat. Considering the CA cops' abilities to ID suspects, as shown in the Dorner manhunt, I'm surprised they didn't shoot a 300 lb blind black man because his cane sorta looked like a bat.
She might have harmed herself so he killed her for her safety.
Armed with only a bat, she could have been rushed by officers with shields and perhaps one officer might have been bruised. It’s obvious the guiding criterion for police, as to use of deadly force, is their perception that they might be harmed in any way. The silver lining to this incident is that all officers went home safely.
Expensive rental complex.
The incident began about 4:50 p.m. Sunday when police received a call from a woman threatening to harm herself and others, police said. She said she had taken pills, wanted police to shoot her and would attack officers with a bat, authorities said.
One uLEO to the other uLEO: “It was a good kill.”
Infield fly rule? I never did learn of that nnuance.
Two cops who can’t handle a distraught woman with a bat without killing someone need new jobs somewhere else.
Sheesh!!!
At least the dog is still breathing
Pity it didn’t happen in Seattle. NOBODY in Seattle can hit anything with a baseball bat.
So the solution was to shoot her? At least she didn't commit the grievous crime of bumping into the fence around the white hut and making the cops chase her across town to shoot her.
