I've seen others versions of the clip though, and I too thought I remembered it being on FOX. I'll see if I can't find some of the other links. In this one you can hear her swearing at them after they tackled her. They say she had a knife as well as the gun, but I didn't see a knife. Also she wasn't holding her gun in a threatening manner. She did state - "you'll have to shoot me".



I saw the knife.

She was holding the gun and the knife together in the same hand, in a completely NON-threatening manner. The knife was closed, and the gun... well, it was an old revolver (looked like 1956 Highway Patrol .38 Special, probably had a hammer with the firing pin welded on -- a five-shot-safe handgun).

She was holding the revolver BY the cylinder. As UN-threatening as it gets.

She wasn't trying to intimidate them. She was trying to SHOW them that she was OK on her own, that she could look after herself.

They, on the other hand, were trying to provoke her, ridicule her, intimidate her, and ultimately, they just decided to jump her and drag her out of her home, after STEALING her gun and knife.

Bastards...

I wonder if she has a good case for a lawsuit. If not her, someone else. I'm not talking about suing the LE on the scene. Instead, it's the people like Nagin and that police chief who need to be held to account in some way. No matter how you look at it, they are denying these N.O. residents their basic constitutional rights.
