How did that not work???
The days where I strip down and water plants are numbered. I guess I should just give up and murder people now.
Maybe it was too cold for anyone to be swimming and the plants were all cacti.
Why would a woman exit her house and threaten multiple uniformed police with a gun unprovoked? I don't believe them.
Yeah, I bet there's going to be a huge difference between the official story and the bodycam footage, if that ever gets released.
There needs to be a "no bodycam, then the cops are by default in the wrong" law.
Yeah and we'll get the cops to police it!
Either she's a little nuts, or more likely the police are lying.
Life is different for white women, and some aren't aware of their privilege. Some women will bully and intimidate everyone, because they've learned it works fairly often and there's rarely any negative consequences to themselves.
Also, the lived experience of most white women around police is vastly different than what police are to pretty much every other group. This also leads some to believe that the default behavior of most cops is something other than massive asshole.
White woman with a gun pointed at police:
Shot once then arrested
Autistic kid with a knife:
Shot 9 times, life threatening injuries and leg amputated.
Apparently cops DO have the ability to control their trigger finger when they want to...
Black kid with no knife and no gun: shot dead on sight.
Skittles, cell phone, subway sandwich, etc.
They charged her because they knew they fucked up.
Wild that cops in the US can shoot you in your own home and then you’re the one that gets charged with attempted murder for surviving to testify.
Police on high alert, woman appears with a gun and is not shot dead on sight. She actually goes back inside to get someone else without being shot again for moving. Not impossible, even credible if what she was carrying was not a gun.
Perhaps it was a garden hose your grace
