get fricked. You're part of the problem--holed up in your shithole in Mississippi wanting freedom from all government regulation.

Some of you can't discuss facts without being emotional children. The guy is liable--period. Whether or not he perceived a threat and what led to that is the discussion here.

Oh no she threw the pot at his feet. Pretty weak actually. He was looking for a reason.

Also, if he was truly afraid of the water then he wouldn't have pushed forward. He would have kept his distance and commanded her to leave the kitchen. He pushed forward knowing he could easily headshot her. Which is what he said he was going to do. She initially let go and cowered down holding up her mitts, but as he drew closer she threw the pot at his feet. She was a scared woman. He shouldn't have treated her like that. None of this had to go down like this. They are the ones who put her in that position, so they should have had more patience with her.

He should have never drawn his weapon over her rebuking. That wasn't a threat. She wasn't even facing him when she said it. However, even if he wanted to draw his weapon then he should have kept the distance away from her and instructed her to leave the sink. Instead he pressed forward.

Here's the deal. As long as she is at the sink what true threat does she possess? There is a long counter between to two as well. So why not wait it out? Also, the longer you wait the more the water eventually cools. So what if they had to wait all night? As long as she isn't moving towards them they could have observed her from a distance.

I have seen standoffs with men holding loaded guns last much longer with police than this. I have seen mentally unstable men holding guns threatening to actually kill the police last longer than this. There should have been no rush to head towards her. They had enough distance and positioning. Looked pretty difficult for her to even handle that pot as well.

Cop should have drawn his taser if anything, but he got pissed and told her he was going to shoot her f-ing head off. An already disturbed,paranoid, and scared woman. That they put IN THAT POSITION. He treats her like that. Rather than be the bigger more sane person and assure her he is only there to help her he rather go ballistic. All because he doesn't even understand what rebuke means. And he's an absolute prick who should have never been a cop to begin with. Absolutely did not warrant drawing his gun on her. It wasn't a threat. She wasn't motioning towards them.

Again, if the pot was that scary then you would keep your distance with your weapon on her. The thing is once it's dumped she's got nothing left. Just show some patience. She was a pretty slow person. They should have left at the door like the other officer wanted to do, but this cop pushed it. Yet he was the one without any patience.

It's ridiculous.

I mean you’re lecturing about “facts” after you said this:

That was my perception after watching the police activity video on TV, yes.

again, you're one of the emotional children based on your posts that isn't used to analyzing anything

There is literally no way a jury buys all that.

Do you realize she was only dealing with the pot of water because the cop told her to?

---

Do you realize she did everything wrong after he told her that?

Why does she even need to move it? Just cut the burner, if anything.

I still don't think this situation rose to the level of pulling out guns.

before he took the gun out he backed up and said he was backing up because he didn’t want to have boiling water thrown on him. That was reasonable.

Everything he did after that was unreasonable. There was no reason for him to take his gun out at all.

Yea, there’s probably some hidden evidence the libz don’t want us ti see. I bet this thug had marijuana in her system ! The whole thing was probably staged, of course it comes out right before the election!

Is this your first rodeo? Just started paying attention to “the news” now that you’re about be a freshman in college? Here’s a tip Junior, rarely are these situations exactly how they seem when the video first drops.

I’m sure you feel the same way whenever some college girl is killed by an illegal, huh. Let me guess what the difference is. But sure, we’ll wait for the feature length film that tells the whole story. We’ll also be eagerly awaiting why this cop was fired from 3 other departments leading up to thi.
