A woman brandishing a knife on a Pleasantville street was taken into custody Sunday, after officers were able to disarm her using pepper-spray and a tackle.
Officers were called to Main Street and Pleasant Avenue at 1:51 p.m. Sunday for the report of a woman brandishing a knife at people in the area, Capt. Matt Hartman said.
Multiple officers confronted the woman, who was known to police from previous encounters due to apparent mental issues.
She was armed with a steak knife and standing in the middle of the road.
Body camera footage of the incident shows the woman yelling in the middle of Main Street and Pleasant Avenue, as officers plead with her to drop the knife. “We’re going to get you some help,” one officer says. “Please drop the knife.”
Then the woman starts walking down Main Street, with officers following.
“You don’t even know my f—— story,” she tells them as she continues walking.
“Tell us your story,” one says.
She then begins running, with officers chasing her continuing to ask her to drop the knife.
The woman stops briefly, with her back to a building.
That’s when one officer, holding a riot shield, is able to give a short spray of OC, commonly known as pepper spray.
Another officer tries to as the woman runs again.
When she stops a second time, the officers spray more.
She then runs down Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue, where she finally stops and drops the knife.
An officer then tackles her to the ground.
The officer cuffing her says he will get her two cuffs when it appears difficult to get her arms cuffed behind her comfortably.

I believe she’s the new 007.
Wonder if she referenced Jimmy Cagney’s line at the end of White Heat (1949), “Top of the world, Ma!”-—and in pink shoes, too.
Cops shoulda shot her in the big toe.
Vera was shot in the pinky toe in Harlem Nights.
Lol.
Seems like a good excuse to loot and riot.

Long time home of the Reader's Digest. 5400 St. George Place. Not far from Chappaqua. Site says: 2.31 miles away following Bedford Route.
Right outside Atlantic City NJ.
Just beamed down from Planet Black.
The best.
Be there or be square. Whites just beware. You dare, don't care, it's our lair, that's fair.
Detroit has Rosa Parks Blvd. (Note the elderly Ms. Parks was the vitim of a home invasion in her Detroit house. Many saw the shame in that and condemned it.) Her Montogomery, AL bus seat is marked in the Henry Ford Museum exhibit with the actual bus you can walk through.
From article about the 1994 incident:
"A man who robbed civil-rights icon Rosa Parks in a 1994 break-in at her Detroit home is accused of a similar crime in Grand Rapids. Joseph Nathaniel Skipper, 54, is accused of robbing a 74-year-old Grand Rapids woman in her home on New Year’s Day. He was sentenced in 1995 to eight to 15 years in prison for breaking into Parks’ home, hitting her in the face and robbing her of $53."
Perfect specimen for a lobotomy.
Isn’t that just open carry?
Gimp
Re: Henry Ford Museum exhibit
I visited the Henry Ford Museum when I was a young boy in the 1960’s. The museum grounds were well organized and very clean. I can’t imagine what it looks like now.
Looks like the “not today” lady
I objected to the changes made in the 1980’s, wherein a new “head” of the museum, had to express himself by wrecking decades of good tradition at the museum and village.
RE: Henry Ford Museum.
The outdoor Greenfield Village had a big rennovatin around 2000 and they actually moved many buildings to cluster them by area (railroad life, colonial....). Also fully paved sidwalks to wheelchair friendly. Still a great place.
Indoors, they shed dozens of cars (my favorite attraction) and rows of mundane, unexciting displays due to modern thinking about interest to short attention span spectators. Too bad. They sent the stuff to the Smithsonian in DC with precise labels, though.
