    Yeah the video that still is from is crazy to watch because there’s like literally 10+ cops surrounding her in a circle, two of them try tazing her and obviously the tasers fail to go through her shirt. She steps towards the nearest officer who tased her, swings her kitchen knives very slowly and is already stumbling (I assume at least one taser managed to get her). Cops all get scared and just immediately unload. Literally firing at will despite there being a bunch of civilians/cars and also their fellow cops in the crossfire.

    Absolutely incredible none of them had the fucking intelligence or bravery to…you know…use their superior numbers to surround her and just tase her from behind or you know…grab her arms and get her to drop the knives.

      Just parry the knife with their slop filled bellies.

      In the best case a cop dies and in the worst case they can grab the knifes easily.

        Cops #7, 2, 5, AND ESPECIALLY 9 could have just…tackled her. Any one of them. 2, 5, and 7 would have had it easy, just shoulder check her onto the ground you’re literally behind her or in her blind spot & have at least 2" on her!! #5 and #8 are the ones who tried tasering her though, if I’m remembering the video from the still of her facing the camera correctly (that one shows the tasing and shooting, the one I pulled from is someone running down the sidewalk to get it on camera but it had the widest angle allowing me to see all the cops), I’m not watching them again though to doublecheck. #8 and #9 pulled their guns immediately and fired shots.

        #9 has like a foot of height on her, inconceivable that none of them just decided to tackle her.
