(20,759 posts)But this woman was pointing a shotgun at the cops and threatened to kill them. She fired several rounds after they shot one at her. Then they killed her. Suicide by cop.
I do feel sorry for her five year old boy, who suffered a non-life-threatening wound.

(20,759 posts)If there's an indication that the police are fabricating any aspect of this, then heads should roll. If it went down as the police say it did, then they shouldn't shoulder the blame.

That makes her either crazy or stupid, not a militant or a martyr.
The traffic stop was legit, the cops would have come to her house anyway because they also had a warrant for her boyfriend, driving is not an inalienable right, and she DID have the option of GOING to court.
Joanna Chesimard, she ain't -- she's barely Lauryn Hill.

Because that's what I'm hearing from some here.
