quote:

Seattle police officers shot and killed a 30-year-old mother of four at her apartment Sunday morning in front of “several children” when the woman “confronted” them with a knife, according to a statement from authorities. The Seattle Times said she had called police to report a possible burglary. At a vigil Sunday night, family identified the woman as Charleena Lyles, reported the Times, and said she had a history of mental health struggles. She was three months pregnant with her fifth child, they said, and too “tiny” for officers to have felt threatened by her — even if she had a knife.

quote:

“Why couldn’t they have Tased her?” Lyles’ sister, Monika Williams, told the Seattle Times. “They could have taken her down. I could have taken her down.”



Looks like a damn bee.

A knife inside of 15 ft is more dangerous than a gun.

Stupid people think otherwise.

Can be as dangerous as a gun maybe. More dangerous. Nope. Not unless you can stab someone 15 times at 1,090 FPS semi automatically.

Amazing that they can quote this but the police can never, ever quote the persons long criminal history. And what does her having a bus load of babies have to do with anything?

Poor people, that keep making babies, should all be shot.

Talcum X is upset. He doesn't understand that if you show a weapon to a police officer in an aggressive manner and do not comply with officer's directive, you will get shot.

These poor kids were doomed from jump street.

quote:

Usually, only one officer would respond to a standard burglary call like this one, Jamieson told reporters. But police were familiar with Lyles and her apartment, he said, and her called flagged “hazard information” affiliated with her apartment that “presented an increased risk to officers,” the detective said. Officers walked to the fourth floor and “at some point, the 30-year-old female was armed with a knife,” Jamieson told reporters. Both officers, who have not been identified, fired their weapons. They performed CPR, according to authorities, but Lyles was later declared dead by fire department officials at the scene.


Seems like one cop would have a taser ready while the other had his weapon drawn. Obviously we need more info to get a more concrete idea of what happened.

Cops need to be trained to shoot a knife out of someone's hand

I'm slow. I'm fat. Give me a red marker at 15ft and you take an airsoft pistol in whatever concealed or duty holster you want.

Prepare to be slashed before you do anything. If you're pretty quick on the draw, you might get me in the legs.

I said the same damned thing in the training class. I put one in his shins before I got slashed from neck to my dick with a few jabs in the chest before I maanged to put 3 into the instructor's chest.
