No shocker here. There’ll be more sacrifices as we move forward. On the other hand, how someone with 20+ years on the force can’t distinguish a pistol from a stun gun is beyond me.
They might be overreaching here. Might settle for negligence I figure. Never know though. A lot of times if it’s an ‘on view’ arrest whatever they stick you with is what you get.

In situations like this the adrenaline flows; you don’t think you react. I don’t don’t know what her 20+ years experience was, but perhaps it wasn’t on the street. Often a female officer has worked the office or technical jobs but needs street experience to get a promotion. I don’t know, but I do know these traumatic scenes cannot really be properly judged by those who have never such a experienced life or death scenario..
We will see similar incidents/accidents in our new military in a few years with our pregnant soldiers and other military misfits from a few years ago after they become quasi soldiers, sailors and marines in name only.

Why would anyone want to join the police as a career? Yes, she made a fatal inexcusable mistake. In the larger picture however it seems that we are headed to a time of complete lawlessness. It seems the BLM crowd is suggesting that violent or high individuals should be asked politely if it would be ok if police enforced the law, and if they say no, then violent criminals should just carry on with their day as planned.
