You're probably right. An American reporter would have known it's Las Cruces, not Los Cruces.

[Pikachu_Dad]

Backed up with the drivers door open … pushed the cop back.

That’s my thought. “45 year old grandmother”?! Not that it doesn’t happen but I’d say the “writer” is escalating hatred for Police purposely.

[rktman]

Obviously wasn’t cutting it writing for U.S. outlets. 🤔😁👍

[rktman]

And “New” not bolded and “Mexico” in bold/highlighted. SMDH!

[jacknhoo]

“45 is a bit young for a grandmother !”

_______________

That’s ridiculous.

Age of consent in 34 states is 16 years of age and 17 in 6 states and 18 in 11 states. What you think they’re consenting to kisses? 🤣

My wife was 40 when we had our first Grandchild. She had our first daughter at the age of 20, and our daughter had our granddaughter at the age of 20.

Just pointing out it is not that uncommon.

A *grandmother* the way it was implied should have been a white haired, 80 something old lady.

Forty five????? By the time she would have hit 80, she would have been a great-great-grandmother.

Seems there is a lot missing from this story. Like details.

[Rennes Templar]

Grandmother elicits more sympathy for the lady.

Brits have a funny way with the American language.😉

[Secret Agent Man]

45 and a gramdma. Good grief.

My grandma was 42 when she was a grandma but she had a good excuse, her husband went off to fight in wwii on a carrier and she was a war bride at 17 and mom at 18. Didnt know if he was coming back.

Tnis woman is not that.

[Alas Babylon!]

The cop had been speaking with Gomez who had parked her car at a housing complex with her friend, identified as Julio Garcia.

Shooting me and Julio down by the car park...

[SuperLuminal]

No need to kill old ladies in this type situation...

Cop will be welcomed by a prison population...

[If You Want It Fixed - Fix It]

Investigate. Just investigate. Hopefully cop was well trained or solid training will be part of a settlement.

Remember: guilty or not guilty, his mental life is messed up. Two victims here, not equivalently, awaiting investigation.

[HartleyMBaldwin]

One of my sisters knew a woman who was a great-grandmother at 52.

[Tijeras_Slim]

A 45 year old Grandmother... that’s New Mexico True (tourist bureau slogan).

[JaguarXKE]

That was exactly my first thought too. The headline doesn’t reflect what happened.

[StAnDeliver]

Suicide-by-cop. She sneered at him as she put that car into reverse. Biotch was so intent on getting tapped, she didn't even close her damn door, and hesitated before putting that piece of crap into drive -- that's all you need to see.

Garcia -- who should have gotten two in the hat -- is so smug he flashes the paintball gun midway through the administrative search to taunt the LEO, and then later lights a cig -- meanwhile this sullen puta looks like a longtime victim of abuse by HeySuess, when she realizes she has just. had. enough. Forever. You can see it flash over her face before she gets back in the car.

It's the middle of the damn night, HeySuess is going in for trespass, car might be impounded, and she can't be there to begin with...

She knew this officer wouldn't miss. This was suicide-by-cop.

[faucetman]

I’m certain EVERYONE here pictured the “grandmother” as a 45 year old gramma, like I did. /s
