Then how come she isnt charged with any gun related charges?

What happened to this "gun" she was pointing at them. It doesnt say in the story.

And since when do cops not just shoot someone if a gun is pointed at them?

Seems to be SOP to me.

As I've been trying to assert, this story is poorly written. It leaves WAY too many questions about what might have happened.

Of course, anyone questioning the official word is automatically branded "anti-cop".

How much you wanna bet this thread is gonna devolve pretty damn quickly?

Petitioning Woman Maced, Mauled By Police Dog
POSTED: 8:06 a.m. MST October 30, 2003

BERNALILLO, N.M. -- A woman who has been circulating a petition seeking removal of the Bernalillo mayor and a Bernalillo councilor was mauled by a police dog over the weekend following a chase.

Toni Osborn, of Bernalillo, was listed in satisfactory condition at University of New Mexico Hospital in Albuquerque.

Osborn's attorney, Brad Hall, said police were duped by information from people with a political interest in her silence.

Sandoval County Undersheriff Tim Lucero said his department received a call Sunday to investigate a pickup truck being driven by a woman who was destroying property and waving a firearm.

Lucero said Osborn's truck fled toward Albuquerque, where Albuquerque police used a special vehicle to pin the truck to an embankment. Osborn was reportedly Maced and a police dog was deployed after she refused to cooperate.

Authorities said she did not have a gun.

My take, she's a bit of a nut. Of course, just because you're paranoid doesn't mean people aren't out to get you.
