It seems like cowardliness is the main criteria to become an armed policeman in the US. They shoot people just for raising their voice or flailing their arms about.

Cowardliness? You're kidding, right? She raised and pointed a weapon at police! What did you expect them to do? "Mam. Excuse me... Is that weapon you're about to point at us... Is it a real gun?"

Hope you are posting from the home for the retarded, so I can cut you some slack. This isn't a cop shooting a guy in the back, you know. You are calling him a coward because he wasn't willing to take a chance that the crazy lady didn't have a real gun?

And we're not even talking about guns that some one would paint an orange tip on a real gun to try to pass it off as a toy gun. |

So many triggered Only a brave person can understand my point of view.
I've been in a life threatening situation 3 times (guns involved, otherwise more). The first one I was a bit scared but decided to defuse the situation even though I knew I might very easily get killed. The other two times all I felt was adrenaline and again I successfully dealt with both situations despite a gun pointing at me. And they were real guns and I knew it. There is a saying - only a cowardly dog will bite. |

Meanwhile in UK the cops are too pussy to fight actual crime so they patrol the web looking for hate speech. The criminals in the UK pretty much bend over and fuck your cops.

zx10guys thank you for making me laugh you cheered me up.
Fun fact: If a gun is pointed at you and you are not dead yet there is a reason for it. It could of course be that the gun is fake or not loaded but if the gun is real and you are still alive it's because the gunman doesn't really wants to kill you. All you have to do is face the situation and deal with it. But it takes a bigger man. |

Did any of you actually read the article? According to the article, here’s what happened:
“Officers were called to Marquez’s home in the 1100 block of Fremont Avenue by a landlord to check on her welfare. When the officers arrived around 12 p.m., she was suffering from seizures and appeared unable to take care of herself. Officers called out paramedics and a mental health clinician, and continued to talk with her. After about 90 minutes, Marquez, 49, armed herself with a BB gun and pointed it at the officers, causing them to open fire, said Sheriff’s Lt. Joe Mendoza.” So: 1) Marquez was suffering from seizures, which is why the officers were called in the first place. Clearly, she was suffering from some kind of mental disorder. 2) A bunch of people were with her at the time: the officers, the paramedics, themental health clinician. 3). Somehow, she took it upon herself, despite being watched by all those people, to make her way to where the BB gun was located and pointed it at the officers. Something doesn’t seem to add up... or that may exactly be what happened. But any reasonable person has got to have more than a few questions, such as: What happened during those 90 minutes, where she went from seizure, being attended to by multiple professionals, to BB-gun wielding maniac? Why was she even left alone or even allowed to access a BB gun while being attended to? Again, it may be that the officers were completely in the right, but I hope they were wearing body cams; it would help understand the 90-minute gap in the article. |

At any rate, the fact that police were present and negotiating with her on the scene for 90 minutes before this woman escalated the situation is proof enough to me that this wasn’t some trigger-happy hit squad. Sounds like they did what they had to do to protect themselves and the other first responders present from what they perceived to be a lethal threat. Also, believe it or not, suicide by cop is a real thing. |
