That makes no sense to me. Why would a armed cop with at least 2 other cops backing her up, probably wearing a vest, facing an unarmed person, trained for and accustomed to confrontation, be under more stress than the unarmed citizen. I agree you need to listen to cops or clearly they will kill you, but the point was if stress is an excuse for not hearing, cops should assess the situation and not assume their commands were heard.

Focus, not stress is the issue here.

She was focusing so hard on the person she stopped and considered a threat, that everything else was blocked.

You are arguing he was focusing so hard on the person he considered a threat, that he blocked HER out. I don’t think that makes sense.

If something is a threat to your life, that something is going to be your sole focus. I think your argument fails.

Something was going on with this guy.

Something he did caused her to take her gun out. Even then he refused to obey her commands.

I’m not saying it was a righteous shoot. Could be one of those officers coming up behind her startled her and she fired off a round.

This will come out eventually.
