Quoted: She gets another decade older every time the age cope is posted. Sorry she looks rocked out, but she was 36 years old.

Quoted: I mean, I'm not her lawyer. The cop is charged with murder. Yeah, she's apparently schizophrenic. They were laughing and joking with her, until she said the rebuke thing. Then the shooter kicked it up to 11 with threatening to shoot her in the fucking face. I'm no expert on dealing with mentally ill people, but I would imagine that isn't helpful. I'm not saying her behavior didn't contribute to what happened. There are a million what ifs in hindsight where things could have gone differently. Hell, they were just about to leave, when one of the cops reignited the conversation about the car. I bet he regrets that... I'm not saying the cop doesn't have a defense here. Proving murder beyond any reasonable doubt is a different case than just proving a civil rights violation. Again, for whoever needs to hear this, I'm not an unbiased investigator or journalist. I'm totally biased. I sue the government for a living. I almost never side with the government. I think cops are trained to be too quick to shoot first and ask questions later. If it's not a good shoot for a citizen in the same situation, I don't believe the government should be able to do it either. It's the same reasonableness standard based on the immediacy of the threat and knowledge known at the time the trigger was pulled. Some differences, yes. View Quote Exactly. |

Quoted: I wish more people did ride-alongs. If police officers shot people every time it was legally justified, the streets would run with blood. The restraint out there by LEOs is incredible. Note: I did not watch the video in the IO, have not read any reports about it, and therefore have no opinion regarding that situation.

View Quote I watched both body cameras. He closed the distance, pulled a gun on her and she ducked, obviously scared. She got up and threw what appeared to be very little water, didn’t come even close to him, and shot her. She appears to be defending herself against someone who pulled a gun on her. What is clear, if he didn’t draw his weapon, she would have not threw the water, which was almost none. The other officer didn’t have his gun drawn until after the first one fired. My opinion means nothing. It looks like this entire situation could have been avoided. |

I had a similar experience as the shooter…
I was at this place called “Texas Roadhouse” for dinner. I was already suspicious and at Threat Level Orange because, despite the name, this place wasn’t in Texas, so obviously a fake ID. Anyway, I ordered a delicious steak and the waitress brought it to my table. This is when it all went South… She set the steak down and threatened me by saying that the plate was scalding hot! I put my hand on my custom 1911 and prepared to deal with this threat elevation when the unthinkable happened. She reached into her apron pocket and pulled out a LARGE KNIFE WITH A NASTY SERRATED BLADE! It was at least 8 inches long. I immediately drew down on her, flipped the safety off, and screamed “DROP THE F-ING KNIFE!” She replied “Huh? What?” That’s when I saw her arm move slightly, so I mag dumped into her. A guy in the booth next to mine said “Hey! Why did you do that!” I told him that I wasn’t going to have my wife and kids hear that their loving father got stabbed to death that day. |

Quoted: I'm not sure if people are really this dumb or trolling. All she had to do was nothing. You're also assuming he was talking to her and not the other cop.

Then sets it down when challenged at gunpoint. She again doesn't move away from it, doesn't put her hands up doesn't lay on the floor. She goes down and hides out of sight, then grabs the pot again and throws it when the cops move up to see her and see what the hell she's doing now.

View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: My assertion is that you are being creative with the facts. This dude pressed the issue because he had to get an ID from the RP. He then gave her nonsensical commands when she was obviously a little slow to process things. Then he shot her because she didn't perfectly follow confusing instructions. He put her into a fight or flight response after she moved the water like they said she could. This is Shaver 2.0 and unfortunately it will probably go the same way because enough "reasonable officers" will shoot confused old ladies rather than walking away from their compulsion to get an ID. Creative with the fact she intentionally threw boiling hot water at a cop unprovoked. That is an opinion and not a fact since the old lady can't share what her intent was. I guess I'm surprised to learn that the difference between facts and opinions aren't covered in police training, but you learn something new every day. You were so close. Her intent is irrelevant. It's subjective. The objective fact is she threw boiling water at a cop. This is after he instructed her to pick up the deadly pot of water by the way "Yeah get that pot. We don't want a fire in here. I will shoot you in the fucking face DROP THE POT DROP THE POT!" bam bam bam I'm not sure if people are really this dumb or trolling. All she had to do was nothing.

But the splashed water reached his feet. See how close it came to him.
He was a dick to her from the beginning. You can tell that she is not all there. Wasn’t his partner by the pot and then walked away only to let her walk to it? How about dumping the water out while he was by it instead of leaving it on boil? Normally I support cops but this was a bad shoot. He is a psycho, multiple DUI’s and worked for six departments. |

This has vibes of the Eleanor Bumpurs shooting in NYC in 1984
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Killing of Eleanor Bumpurs On October 29, 1984, Eleanor Bumpurs was shot and killed by the New York City Police Department (NYPD). The police were present to enforce a city-ordered eviction of Bumpurs, an elderly and disabled African American woman, from her New York Housing Authority (NYCHA) public housing unit at 1551 University Avenue (Sedgwick Houses) in the Morris Heights neighborhood of the Bronx.[1] In requesting NYPD assistance, NYCHA workers told police that Bumpurs was emotionally disturbed, had threatened to throw boiling lye and was using a knife to resist eviction. When Bumpurs refused to open the door, police broke into her unit. In the struggle to subdue her, one officer fatally shot Bumpurs twice with a 12-gauge shotgun.[2][3] Bumpurs' shooting, one of several deaths that inflamed racial tensions in New York during the 1980s, led to changes within the NYPD regarding responses to disabled and emotionally volatile persons. Officer Stephen Sullivan, who shot Bumpurs, was indicted on a charge of second-degree manslaughter, but was ultimately acquitted. Bumpurs' family sued the city for $10 million in damages, and settled for $200,000. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Eleanor_Bumpurs Shooting of Eleanor Bumpurs |

Quoted: Sure, and while that should have been considered in the hiring process, that's not relevant to the shooting itself. It was very clear to me. View Quote Sure it does. It proves that he is not of sound mind and had no business putting himself into such a situation. Furthermore, in cases where the defendant is using a self defense argument, the justification is up to the defendant to prove to the court. He has to convince the jury that his justification was warranted and fell within the legal requirements for use of deadly force. The prosecutor just has to prove that a murder in the first degree took place… his lawyers have to prove it was justified. |
