According to what is written, Hughes was:

Not threatening Chadwick. Was not threatening the cops. The cops had a physical barrier between them and she was not trying to climb it. According to their own report, she was “composed and content”. She just didn’t respond to the commands as quick as Kisela thought she should have. She was cutting into a tree with a knife which, last time I checked, isn’t a crime.

Shot her for no reason. I’d be curious to know, not that it would matter, if the cops had Taser’s. Even though, they would have had no legal reason to even use that on her.

If my kid was in that situation, with a barrier between me and the threat of my child on the other side...I’d dang sure fire...esepcially when she refused to drop the weapon.

The cartridge contains a pair of electrodes and propellant for a single shot (or three shots in the X3 model) and is replaced after each use.
There are a number of cartridges designated by range, with the maximum at 35 feet (10.6 m).
Cartridges available to non-law enforcement consumers are limited to 15 feet (4.5 m).

It’s futile.

Unless it’s a non white cop killing a white person it is *ALWAYS* a ‘good shoot’ around here.

Remember, “civilians” don’t matter, the only thing that does is that the officer gets to go home to their family.
