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.

Looked like a failed attempt at suicide by cop to me. Criminal suspect waiving a weapon in a threatening manner saying "let's go... go ahead and blow[shoot]."

Officer should get an award for that.

Total fail by Officer. Officer had an open field of engagement. Officer failed in his use of non lethal means. Officer actually closed ground and was not "chased" as the report states. Total fail in my opinion.

So should he have just run away or get stabbed first? He tried the taser and that didn’t work! These things can happen when you have a weapon and don’t comply.
