Yes, but a long time passed between the time that they did and she fired.

WTF was she walking around with a gun drawn for? Stand your ground, but she was looking for trouble.

It sure did. And it was clear that she either did not hear them or believe them based on her subsequent actions. I agree with David that it was a perfect **** storm and that both she and the officers are lucky that no one was an accurate shot that day. She came thisclose to being smoked and that fence was zero cover.

I also agree w Greg that she acted unwisely but this illustrates the problem of armed citizens…even trained cops act really unwise in armed conflicts sometimes. I’m not against 2A rights and I’ve exercised my own but just pointing out potential dangers.

Loooong time to identify as LE. That was pretty poor situational management IMO. ID as police, ask her to confirm she understands you are police. Your authority as a cop doesn't come from you existing, it comes from identifying yourself to all present. Not a good showing on their part.

And my goodness how high do you have to be to act like she did in that video? And where did the rest of those bullets go? Who the hell is in charge of range training for those guys?

My last thought on this is a bit less than honorable- i could never be a cop as there's no way i'd ever point a gun at a chick with a rack that nice.

Completely different situation. BTW san B. is an extremely rough area.


I agree with the drug aspect. She is calm like a cucumber... A little too calm...
