In both of the cases I cited, the shootings were done in the interest of "officer safety". As it turns out, the danger to the officers involved was questionable, at best.
Then, mysteriously, the video evidence in both cases is unavailable for bogus reasons.
Officer safety should always be a concern, but it should never trump a citizen's right to move about freely on their own property if they are not acting in a threatening manner. Furthermore, given that the "official" video records have a strange habit of disappearing when the actions of the police are questionable, I hope more folks make a habit of recording evidence that the authorities cannot simply "lose", or "seal" from public scrutiny.
I love the US constitition. It is indeed one of the best documents that could ever have been written by the hand of man.
However, the Supreme court does recognize that the rights contained therein are not absolute. You cannot shout, ‘Fire’ in a movie theatre under the guise of free speech, and as one judge noted, the constitution is not so absolute a document that it functions as a suicide document.
If this ever went to court, you will probably find that it was within a cop’s ability to ask her to back up so he can affect an arrestm even if she was filming on her property.
