“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.
