Is this something the cop should have known? Serious question.

Oh yes, because taking your eyes off of a subject who clearly means to harm you is a great idea. Let's just give her time to get something more deadly.

Or pulled a gun out of toss range, and told her to drop it.


How do you know how far she could toss that?

Seriously, some of y'all will turn yourselves into knots to blame the police for anything.

When you can't make a good argument, cry racism. That works none of the time these days.

Absolutely. Do you seriously question that?

You're basically giving him the South Park hillbilly defense:

Why should he have known this? Did he have her medical history? Was this a wellness check for a mentally ill person? What is the fact-based reason he should have known this woman was mentally ill?

Same comment applies to all of the meaningless nonsense you said to shield your lack of actual argument.

Her behavior was a pretty obvious sign.

Also, how do you plan to justify his callous decision to not render effective aid to the woman he just shot?

I'm not going to waste my time arguing with an idiot. You are welcome to claim victory among shitbags that think this shitbag was warranted in the murder he committed.

Unfortunately, no.

I watch a whole lot of body cam videos. Her behavior is unbelievably common. Honestly it's pretty shocking how common this is.

Thats hilarious. LARPing so you can play small town law enforcement? Dont worry you can write your boyfriend when he's serving a mandatory life sentence.

No, I just like watching body cam videos. There are tons of them out there it's apparently a pretty common thing to do.

Audit the Audit, Attorney Reacts, Code Blue Cam are just a few of the channels. They all come from different perspectives of this issue but acting like this lady is a pretty common denominator.

Somehow people have been taught this is how you should act around the police.

Have you ever considered that the bodycam videos that get posted to youtube tend to show subjects in mental distress, so you think that's how people normally respond to cops? 99.999% of body cameras never get posted, just the entertaining ones.

And what's more entertaining than a mentally distressed person getting assaulted?

Terrible look the cop telling an old lady "im gonna shoot you in the fricking face" then doing it seconds later. A more professional LEO would have tried to descalate the situation instead of drawing his gun which made everything worse.

Still think murder is way too much. Seems like the definition of manslaughter, but Im not sfp so take it fwiw.

Yes, that's why I don't only watch "bootlicker channels," as you describe them. I try to get a view from a wide range of perspectives.

ETA: it's funny that you edited your comment when you noticed I don't just watch channels that present the issue from a police-based perspective. Hilarious.

Okay, but those other channels respond to the videos that are originally posted on bootlicker channels, so the point stands.
