Im torn.

If that was a legit, loaded gun in her hand, then you do what you gotta do to get people in the vicinity out of harms way.

But simply shooting her in the leg wouldve probably been safer all around, both for her, the police, and people in the vicinity.

So I guess my thoughts are that it is ok for him to do that but he shouldnt have, because better options were available.

obviously yes. it disarmed someone who was pointing a gun at others and herself and prevented her from shooting anyone or herself

shooting someone in the leg is never an option and that wouldn't have disarmed her anyway

Ok, I was making an assumption on a safer method. If I was wrong about that, then I was wrong about that.

Like I said before, I feel like a safer option had to be available but ultimately, what they did got the job done, so Im not against it.

Hitting her with the car is way more safe than trying to shoot her leg.

Pretty sure the cops shouldn't be running people over. I'm sure there's more they could have done, but I'm not quite sure what. I bet if this was a white dude with a gun then the cops would have at least tried clearing the area and talking to the lady.

Getting shot in the leg would be way more potentially fatal than what happened.

Clearly looks like this was a suicide by cop situation. Yea running them over was applying a lot of force here but she was like seconds away from killing herself.

Six of one, half-dozen of another.

She could have wildly opened fire on the cop car coming at her and sprayed who knows which direction before she was struck by the vehicle.

I think hitting a suspect, even an armed one, with a vehicle, is excessive force. Regardless of how well or poorly she was treated after being hit by other cops.

cops only train to shoot to kill. they don't train to disarm or anything. they really need way more training then what they get. it's way too easy for people to get a gun and think they're the authority.

Wow, what a scary situation. She pointed the gun at others and then at her own head. What a difficult position to be in. Im glad the police were able to find a way to disarm her, even if charging at her with a fucking SUV was also risky as hell. Poor woman, I hope she gets help.

Everyone using a firearm is trained to shoot to stop the target. Thats why you aim for centre of mass. By choosing to fire, youve accepted the possibility of your target dying.

Leg shots and especially shooting the gun out of their hands are not a thing outside of video games. Video games also place an unhealthy emphasis on headshots, which in real life are much harder and in some cases actually make things worse for you in court.

I mean, there's lots of examples of white people with guns taken into custody. Like this one.

https://www.fox2detroit.com/news/warren-officers-de-escalate-teen-in-mental-health-crisis

And we already know there's a radical disparity in how police approach POC. And how they treat a POC once they're in an encounter with them.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if the culture of racism in policing played a part in the calculus of, "Yes, let's run that suspect down. It's definitely an acceptable if not excellent way to de-escalate the situation."

I can't claim the officer did it deliberately, as if they enjoyed the opportunity. But I would put good money down that the unconscious institutional bias that's beat into officers played a role in what happened to that woman.

tbh I think most people cool with this are only so because the cop managed to execute this probably as (luckily) perfect as could be imagined.

If it straight mowed her that cop would get annihilated by said people

Obviously the cops should've used long range taser arrows.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

They're literally trained that interactions with POC are more hostile and dangerous than white people.

It's why white guys with a rifle can yell at cops to lower their guns, and they do, while black people carrying an AR are thrown to the ground and arrested, with their weapon seized.

When executing a search warrant in Australia (at least Western Australia) they have to record the house before and after the search and obtain signatures from the occupants confirming they are happy with the state the house was left in.

Its not just their conduct, its the fact theyre held to that conduct.

No. You shoot for center of mass or you don't shoot at all. Not the least of reasons because hitting a smaller target is harder. Also, don't act like a shot to the leg is somehow safer than getting shot in the chest. You hit the femoral artery, and the target will bleed out in seconds.

DnDer posted...

Honestly, getting clipped by the patrol car probably did less damage to the suspect than shooting her so shove the excessive force argument.

Honestly, I personally applaud the quick thinking and unconventional tactics. They were waiting for cops to come out with guns drawn. They never expected "GTA Style car takedown" to happen.

Hilariously the safest place to shoot someone is arguably on the ass, because theres a large concentration of fat and no arteries. At least, I recall.
