Police in North Carolina have released the body cam footage of the moment an officer shot dead a woman coming at him with a butcher's knife in an effort to show the shooting was justified.

Chieu Di Thi Vo, 46, was shot and killed by a police officer on March 25, 2014, after police were called to a fight at an apartment complex in Greensboro.

Vo, who was born in Vietnam and did not speak English, was having an argument with her mother and was shouting in Vietnamese when cops arrived.

Police say she came at the officer with a meat cleaver and refused orders to drop the weapon when he opened fire, Fox 8 News reported.

why is the camera pointing to the sky the first few seconds?

Don't they typically wear those things on their chest?

I often wonder the same thing. For years all we saw were Taser videos, and now they seem to have fallen by the wayside.

That being said, if you have your weapon drawn upon entering a crime scene, and someone is coming toward you with a large knife, I don't expect you to holster your weapon and pull out a Taser. **I haven't watched the video so I'm not sure if that applies in this situation or not.

Yeah, don't worry about the woman standing directly behind her.

Jeez.

Clean shot. The officer was responding to a call of a fight. He did not know any prior conditions about the assailant.

Clean shot.


ETA the gun is sideways because he's radioing for backup.

Do people not know that it's a bad idea to keep walking with a knife in your hand toward someone pointing a gun at you?

If a cop tells you to "stop" and you continue to walk towards them, you may get shot.

If you're holding a weapon when a cop tells you to "stop" and you continue to walk towards them, you will get shot.

Why does she not move when he aims the weapon and keeps it there?

He's not going to worry about her when a psycho who was just in an argument is holding a cleaver 10 feet away from him

Would've been the same result or worse if she was back in Vietnam. No lie.

Nothing like being able to show a murder on the site but showing a pair of tits is the devil.

Would you approach an unknown situation with your taser drawn instead of your firearm?

You wouldn't want to bring a knife to a gunfight, you wouldn't want to bring a taser to a gunfight either.
