This doesn’t excuse her behavior. But the cops are NOT justified either.

You’re far more level headed than most of the commenters here. Yeah, the police could definitely have handled this better as well.

Possibly, but it doesn’t change the fact she behaved poorly, to put it mildly.

People here are making out like it is a cold blooded execution.

It would be ideal if she didn’t try and kill him in the first place though.

I’m not defending this so much as pointing out the absolute nonsense some people in this thread are spewing.

Almost anyone in the US will shoot you if threatened though.

She didn’t steal anything.

You have no way of knowing that.

Yeah, that’s not how it works.

Nah, you don’t get to just drive away from the police anywhere, sorry. Most would use less lethal means to stop her, but I don’t think any competent force would just let her leave.

Standing in front of the car wasn’t a smart thing to do, I agree with you there. “Let her go and find her later” isn’t really how it works though.

You’re not wrong, but it’s still dishonest to say she was “shot for shoplifting”.

Having someone trying to run you over isn’t “in cold blood”

Good grief.

she was busy assaulting the armed officers with her presence.

And also her vehicle.

She got shot over driving at a police officer standing in front of her car. The fact that it escalated to that is a pretty bizarre series of events though.
