Wouldn’t any guy defending themselves or their property be expected to stop once the police arrive and also have to place their weapon on the floor and step away.... and then lay on the floor and wait to be handcuffed and held until such time as the police understand what took place....
Isn’t that what homeowners are told when it comes to ‘acting in self defense’..?
My question would be what did the police see and then do and say before they felt justified to shoot...? For me that is where the issue lies.... but of course others may see it differently...
Well if you are in the middle of defending yourself when they arrive and don't notice? Adrenaline pumping?
Police were justified here no matter what...my only question was if the girl with the knife had her life under threat before police arrived and that's how she had a weapon.
There's like 2% chance of that since she did place a distress call....if she did place a distress call as others were saying in twitter thread that is...but the police in an active situation can't know the details when they pull up or even who is who so if she was defending herself it's unfortunate but if not and she was the initial aggressor then either way not the cops fault.
