“said Hale had her hands up and informed the officers at the scene that she was pregnant”
So? We all know criminals never lie, but it is irrelevant if she was pregnant or not. Either she threatened police with a weapon or she did not. That is what matters.
There was a Cops episode where the suspect led the cops on a wild foot chase for close to a mile.
After he got tired enough to stop running and both cops and the suspect are totally out of breath and panting, the suspect informed the cops to take it easy on him because he had been suffering from a broken leg.
;-)
That’s funny.
I get it, however, Sixth and Prospect is a war zone in KC.
These days, the best way to avoid being arrested is to be black.
The cops are terrified to arrest black folk, at least in the blue cities.
So instead they shoot them? Arresting might be better.
“Motto of the story: Don’t be black or pregnant
…………………………………………………..
Certainly not around police.”

Video doesn’t lie…although she is black, she is certainly armed and may well not be pregnant. See image at link.
That video came out after I posted. Based on that it appears the police were justified in their use of deadly force. Let the legal process run its course.
