The part of this story that mystifies me is, when he told her to put the pot of hot water down... why didn't she just set it down? If he's some kind of racist nutjob, maybe he'd have shot her anyway but these situations almost always include a cop giving a simple command and the soon to be dead person refusing to comply. I just don't get it.
He says to her - put down your hot steaming water and she says "I rebuke you in the name of Jesus". SOMETHING has to be missing in this story. That exchange between them makes no sense at all.
