Too Early to Judge, I guess. But police Shoot Woman in her Own Backyard

[Seymour Flops]

I think this could have been handled a lot differently. All those officers for a hit-and-run driver? I get why they stood on the carport or whatever, but they could barely see over the fence, and the woman wasn't being aggressive, she was just carrying her gun, having heard reports of a suspect fleeing through backyards.

Why not just tell her to go back into her house? Why the obsession with getting her to drop the gun? Did they mistake her for the suspect?

Why did they fire so many shots and she walked away, with one hit to shoulder? Sounds like a glancing hit. Did they realze it was not a "rightious" shoot and miss deliberately?

This story smells bad, but I fear we will never get to the bottom of it.

I didn't hear the police identify themselves in that video

Failed to comply then "got it on" with the cops?

She shot first. She appeared to have been having a mental crisis. She didn't recognize that she was talking to cops.

Maybe she found her hubby's hash pipe.

She shot into the dirt, if that was even her shooting.

She may have been having a mental crises. Coming to her backyard was unwise at least. But the solution would have been to tell her to get back inside, not yell at her to drop the gun without ID'ing themselves. She was in her own home, on her own property.
