Virginia woman wielding fake gun killed by police during parking lot confrontation
NY Daily News ^ | 20 March 2016 | Jason Silverstein

Her family disputed the police account of her death, saying Beaty would know better than threaten police.

“She’s very smart, very intelligent. I don’t believe she was brandishing a weapon,” her sister, Kendra Beaty, told the Virginian-Pilot.

“Her automatic reaction would have been to drop and say, ‘It’s not real.’ She would not have gone to jail over a toy gun.”

Beaty’s family said she was an aspiring rapper who went by “Lbeezygotti.”

“””The gotti part of her nickname is after (an homage) the John Gotti crime family. Lots of rappers look up to them and consider them “gangsta”.””””

Much like the Sopranos episode where the aspiring rapper hired Bobby to shoot him in the butt to build up his cred and get publicity.

Speaking of stupid games, stupid game app auto-posts appear to be about 80% of her Facebook page.

Somewhat ironically, many of them are from Criminal Case. :P

When it looks like a thug, resists arrest like a thug, brandishes weapons like a thug, police have to make a decision to act, or volunteer to remain a target.

There was a story a few years back in NYC involving a teen thug who aimed his Saturday-night special at a cop. Po' De-sha-wan was quickly dispatched with a severe case of lead poisoning courtesy of one of New York's men in blue.

At the press conference afterwards, some idiot reporterette actually asked the NYPD representative why the officer had to resort to deadly force; couldn't he have just "shot the gun out of his hand?"

"The gotti part of her nickname is after (an homage) the John Gotti crime family."

The, "beezy," part of her nickname needs to be changed to, "wazy".

She’s very smart, very intelligent.

Then she got very stupid.

Now she's very dead.

The "toy" gun she was brandishing.

Why would she carry that unless she wanted the guy to think it was a real gun when she pulled it on him.

on a different tack, it is obvious the "journalists" have an expensive degree. from the article "She died after the officers gave her first aid on the scene, police said." reads like the police killed her with poor first aid.

maybe being a technical illustrator and working with technical writers makes me more aware of these things.

It was a pretty realistic looking prop she got from a video shoo...er, a music video taping...

Out of curiosity, do you think more people have come to prefer "an aspiring rapper" over "Member of The National Geographic Society" in their death notice?

I’d be less ashamed to be considered an aspiring rapper.

What I'm wondering is, was the guy she was brandishing the prop at her fiance, the one with whom they got complementarty tattoos?

If not, why was she with this other guy after 1AM?

If it was her fiance, did he have second thoughts about the tattooing when he saw the [prop] gun in his face???

Seems to me that the logical consequence of brandishing a fake gun would be that a real one would appear, pointed at the one doing the brandishing. Whether that’s due to police arriving or someone else, it just seems the logical consequence. What was she trying to accomplish?

New rules of engagement due out at anytime now.
POlice are not allowed to fire on any suspect until suspect has fired at least two rounds at the POlice.
This should put a stop to most of the Police killin of young African-american mens and womens
New ROE to be evaluated after one year. If the decrease in black deaths at the hands of POlice has not decreased in sufficient numbers, the initial rounds fired my be raised substantially.
