From the article:
“The officer did all she could, giving commands in English and Spanish for (Lara) to hold his hands up,” Cannon said.
“McGowan’s partner was standing next to her when Lara turned and faced them, HPD said. She did not fire but told detectives she also felt in fear for her safety.”
The question is, is their fear reasonable? How would they react to me if I said “I was in fear” and shot someone approaching me like that? I think we all know I’d be getting used to a new life for yhe rest of my life.
Her level of fear wasn’t justified by noncompliance. Another trigger happy pork chop using the fear “get out of jail free card”.
