Why would a cop get arrested for shooting someone about to throw a pot of boiling water at him? Seems like self-defense to me.

Or just leave. Don’t tell the crazy lady I’ll shoot you in the fricking face. This isn’t rocket science or even revisionist history.

They should have never entered the house when they realized that she was crazy. They had searched around the outside of her home and found nothing. Should have left after that.

Can you not read? That’s exactly what I said.

Don't threaten a cop with a pot of boiling water


It seemed like she was making a joke, not threatening the cops because the cop who shot her acted scared of the water before she did anything with it. The cops were the ones to tell her to take it off the stove. The cops had no reason to enter her home in the first place.

I don't think a pot of boiling water is a lethal weapon from 20 feet away. If the cop thought the shooting was justified, he would not have changed his story to say she rushed at him, which she did not. The cop had a taser that he could have used but did not.

This shooting was not even remotely justified which is the reason the cop was fired and charged so quickly.

This POS will end up in a jail cell next to Derek Chauvin and hopefully end up shanked as well.

All throughout history people have been called idiots for speaking the truth. Gandhi, Martin Luther king, Bernie sanders. People even call our next president an idiot here even though she went to Harvard

Well they told her to go check on the pot of water. She also dumped the water and apologized before she was murdered.

But considering she was simply standing there holding the pot of water, a taser made a lot more sense than shooting her in the face.


Unless you are a cop (I am not and I doubt you are) you or I have no idea what is going through that cops head. He has no idea what is going to happen and had to make a split second decision.

If there was a Republican president in the WH. But there is not. Professional protestors who start these things will stand down to help the Dems in an election year.

killing this lady should not have been on his mind, though.

i still don't see anything in the video that would have justified use of force on this lady.

I’m convinced there are some people who will defend a cop for anything he does while on duty. It’s quite amazing the mental gymnastics some play. This guy was charged with 1st degree murder for a reason. Period. Nothing he did was justified.
