"Don’t hold your breath for an explanation. A cop who can’t disarm a woman with a knife without shooting her to death shouldn’t be on the force As someone noted before in the good old days you had to have size and strength to be a cop"

I think you are underestimating how dangerous a knife can be. If this is what happened, the cop had every right to shoot her dead before she got close enough to be able to do any damage, sad as it is to have to do this to someone who might not have been able to help being mad.

A right? Eight cops, they can't surround her and contain her until she is disarmed? Cops are so stupid they shoot to kill, rather than back away, or use night sticks or other tools to fend her off? Absolutely no common sense on the part of the cops. Eight of them, and they can't knock her down. Unbelieveable!

Horse manure.........

If a cop can't take down a woman with a knife, he should not be on the force.

Sounds to me like the cops murdered a very sick woman.....
