That’s what I was thinkin’. More important to get the video.

How did she not kill him at that range?

That would have been the better outcome.

[metmom]

She did wait too long.

It only emboldened the guy, making him think she was weak.

[Does so]

” everyone simply wants to record”...

Could be worth some money...

Good thing he was white or we’d hear endlessly about how the man was shot in the back, was an honor student, just turning his life around, was a father of four, was minding his own business, etc.

[arthurus]

pears that she holstered her gun after she shot him. That’s a bad move.

[arthurus]

The guy is “white.” It’s okay to shoot white guys.

[Mark]

Just invite him to a “Beer Summit”.

[Carl Vehse]

Was the shot grouping good and tight?

[Vaquero]

Her new nickname is Indy.

I wonder how an unarmed Social Worker or Community Organizer would have handled this?

I assume some hands on Counseling and then a nice Bleeding Out.

Since AZ is a Constitutional Carry State, I’m sure an Armed Citizen would have come to the Officer’s defense if need be.

[GOWM]

Just exactly when did this occur? Story says Sunday but story date is 6/18?

[GOWM]

Also, she had to make sure that the area behind the target was clear.

[HollyB]

Ahh. True. Very good point.

Read some of the posts at the Facebook site of the video...

People of color are saying that if he were black, there’d have been a whole pack of cops there and they would have shot him a dozen times as soon as he didn’t comply the first order. ...they claim it happens like this ALL the time....

[Captain Compassion]

A social worker would have defused the situation without a shot./s I’m just sayin’.

[Georgia Girl 2]

I’m surprised she’s not up on murder charges.

[mad_as_he$$]

So they admit that blacks threaten police officers with an knife and ultimately death? Interesting.

I am surprised she let him chase her around as long as she did. I am not sure I would of been so patient.
