Idiot!
Woman threatening, then throwing pot of boiling hot water at police got her shot. People threatening or attacking police must be handled ASAP because they are a danger to everyone.
I doubt the officers knew of her condition prior to entry, but if they did they should have restrained her as soon as they entered or while she sat on the couch.
This happens to whites every day. Many whites are shot by police every day for same reasons. I don't fault sheriff for shooting my white cousin 3 times for the same reason & she was even married to the police chief at the time. We didn't even know she was in crisis prior to her attempted suicide by cop. But soon we found out as city clerk she was caught embezzling a large amount of money from the sewer fund.
My sweet white lady tenant next door is going down the same path. She has even upped her meds, but her anger issues are getting worse. She got a restraining order on husband last month. I saw her smash up his tool box & 4 wheeler in garage & told her to calm down before she makes things worse. Now police are tired of her crap & she is now pissed at them. A few days ago she broke her hand trying to punch through her car window. She had a cast on yesterday when she came over to pay rent. She has her daughter trying to get her into anger management class. It won't be long before someone takes her out.
