“one second window where she can fire without being brought up on charges”

Yep...too soon and you’re done for in court and facing prison. Too late and you are dead. What an awful situation. Thank you, BLM, NAACP, etc.

Her body can’t be seen but a sec before that her leg could and the knee was pointed bent up so she was facing up. He stopped stared at her there was a pause then she fired, he actually screamed because I’m sure he thought he was shot. Perhaps the very worst marksmanship I’ve seen in my life. IMG-8844

How many people can shoot that accurately in a panic situation?

“fighting with a maniac”...intent on getting your gun and killing you.

“She was probably trying to figure the odds that she’d be put up on murder charges because he only had a hammer. That’s why cops are leaving in droves.”

Exactly right. I can just imagine her calculating when to shoot to a) stop the threat and b) avoid prison. A moment’s hesitation doing that mental work and you are dead.

Shoot first then ask “What’s with the hammer ?”

At least you’ll be alive and unharmed...

Yep, because he was “unarmed.”

an average person can sprint 21 feet in roughly 1.5 seconds

Can you draw your weapon, aim and get 1 or more shots off in 1.5 seconds?

This is exactly why women should not be cops.

*********

I suppose women should not be queens of countries either, like Queen Elizabeth I and II, or Prime Ministers like Margaret Thatcher or Indira Ghandhi, or doctors, or lots of other things. I have known plenty of idiot men too. In fact Biden is a perfect example of why men shouldn’t be allowed to be Presidents.

Two shots to the chest and one to the forehead is real gun control.

There was a person on here last week who tried to convince me the suspect was shot multiple times center mass.😃

I tried to explain to this person that the suspect was standing in court on his own accord just a couple days after the incident but they were convinced she shot the suspect point blank center mass.

In that case when the suspect fell forward the top of his head was facing the cop, and that’s when the cops shot the suspect right through the top of the head, dropping the suspect like a bad habit.

Errrr... since when does a Queen or PM need to make a split second decision in a life threatening situation?
