The cop was afraid if she fired too early she would be destroyed by the leftist mob. Her hesitation almost cost her her life.

As soon as he said call your *** and then broke into a run shots should have been fired.

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

That's why they should be training.

"This is exactly why women should not be cops."

And, similarly, women should not be voters.

Repeal the 19th.

21 foot rule. A man can cover 21 feet in the time it takes to draw and fire. She waited way too long. Rule of thumb...if it’s him or you make sure it’s him. At least you’ll be alive to talk about you later.

Unarmed is NOT un-dangerous.

She had plenty of time to shoot the armed suspect. She chose poorly and got tenderized by a hammer.

[Wayne07]

“Was she injured?”

She shot herself, so...

Sad but true.

I was introduced to a new state trooper this past week. A woman all of 4’10”. I kid you not.

I’m shocked. Normally women police officers open fire at the drop of a pin, because they have no other options.

[zeugma]

If she had shot and killed him, she would be sharing the fate of Derek Chauvin and he would be hailed as a saint.

Feel free to spread that meme. Having watched, it is pretty clear that the shots she took were simply ineffective. Not enough time at the range cost her. I'm surprised she didn't shoot sooner, since that's all she has to protect herself.

[zeugma]

She didn’t want to go to prison.

Bullshit. that outcome is so incredibly uncommon, it's almost laughable to consider as reality.

The Tueller Drill teaches that I’d a bad guy is within 7 yards of you with a contact weapon, he can cover the distance and hit or stab you faster than you can put him down with a gun.

Ideally she should have drawn when he started advancing with the hammer, and fired when he charged, but as I said earlier she was probably more afraid of what prosecutors would do to her.

Even the article says released after “minor injuries”.

Some say “well how would you do under stress and excitement”. Again she was Three feet away from him. Either she was never trained or she completely lost her control.

Not boasting but if I was in her situation laying on the ground after being hit with a hammer and he was standing still 3 feet on front of me…He would have been like a pencil—-full of lead. I have not the slightest doubt in my head.

Sad thing is there are many who are sound and intelligent. However OVERALL, they have been a disaster on our political system, moving us steadily and inexorably left. Look at UK where they seem to have taken over. People can’t even own single barrel shotguns, airguns…even legally carry pocket knives, they go to jail for saying offffffensive things. It won’t happen but it probably should—-repeal the 19th and it would do much to restore our country to being great again. These women are not as rare as many here seem to think:
