I think the cops should have shot as soon as she took a firing position.
There was another video Rob posted a couple years back. You had a person walking away from a bunch of cops. All of a sudden he spins around holding a shiny cell phone like a gun.
The obvious happened. Of course the race huksters were out in force over that one.

Whistler,
The second incident you’re talking about happened in Shreveport. Same type of thing. Dark street, the guy turned, took a shooter’s stance, and pointed what turned out to be his cell phone at the officers. They shot him. I would have, too.
The only bright side is that those officers were cleared in the subsequent investigation. They still have to live with it, though.

I wouldn’t second-guess the actions of the police. They got the suspect in custody with no shots fired. Best possible outcome. That said, had they dropped her, I’d have a hard time condemning their decision to do so, BASED ON THE GRAINY VIDEO PROVIDED THERE.
