Your attitude of “I’m going home safe tonight” has gotten innocent people killed. The job is inherently dangerous. If you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen.

We can monday morning this for a while but, you never answered my question. Continuing along your line I guess the officer should have backed off and given the suspect time & space to turn, run and hurt someone else. Or maybe he should have then shot her in the back after she turned & ran ? Or maybe he should have backed up & let someone else do his job for him, or....

If I can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen. Not sure what exactly you mean by that broad statement but if I'm correct in my understanding, I have been in that kitchen. Heat and all. Enjoy myself, no, but I'm still here. Sometimes people are tasked w things that are unpleasant but must be done. Hopefully you have never been nor ever will be in that 'kitchen' .

I get it that there were two people to be concerned with, but IMHO the officer is the one that escalated this by closing in on her. What threat was she out back there with only her, her friend, and the two officers? What am I missing? She didn't charge at him. I don't get it.

Wtr, Same question.

Question, in your HUMBLE opinion, how many LEOS putting their health and safety at risk (because of one ding w/a weapon) would
you consider enough ? The suspect was given instructions that they did NOT comply with. The officer tried non-lethal means which
failed to give the desired outcome. They go hand to hand w/2 or 20 officers and they still have her friend there to jump on their
back or pull a weapon of his own when the LEOS attention is focused on her.
Personally, I don't care if the suspect goes home or not. I DO CARE VERY MUCH that the officer go home to their family, alive & well.
