Charging the cops with murder is overkill. Pun intended.
Officials are just getting out in front of the bleeding heart crowd who would be demanding murder charges later on anyway.
But the cops overreacted as well. The only upside to the story is that there is one less crazy idiot around.
“Hey, lady, get over here,” the officer says.
Perez beings walking away, and the officer pursues her. “Get over here.”
“Nope,” Perez replies as she continues to walk toward her apartment and the officer runs after her.
Then, an officer is seen jumping onto Perez’s balcony.
Her balcony window is open, and the officer removes the screen.
Perez tries to close the window and tells him to stop.
The officer then raises his pistol and points it at Perez, telling her “You’re going to get shot.”
“Shoot me,” she replies.
Glass is then heard shattering, and the woman yells something at the officers.
The video then cuts to multiple officers standing at the balcony and then one officer again jumping over it.
“Hold on,” the officer says.
The woman replies, “You ain’t got no warrant.”
Another officer then says, “Let’s go. Move it.”
Two officers were then seen standing in the patio area.
One officer then turned around to reveal several officers who then all started yelling, “Watch out! Watch out!” before gunshots erupted from the officers toward the woman.
From a different perspective, one of the officers could be seen trying to open the door again.
The woman appeared to be still standing.
The officers start yelling to her, “Hey! Hey!” and more gunshots go off.
From another perspective, multiple officers could be seen firing shots at the woman’s apartment.
A hammer can not be seen clearly in the footage
