Glad he is OK.
Sell all her asset and pay for civil liabilities that criminal caused ( leave and medical Bill's. Any building damages).
Criminals should not be off of the hook because they are dead.
Not much of a physical fitness standard down there is there?
Should have used a harpoon instead of the Zapper. Sorry, could not resist.
Now for the future news........Somehow the cop will be called a racist.

Really ? I'm Not Amused
This is the reality we live in folks... it’s sad, dumb, and ugly, among other adjectives.
So sorry for the officer. He was polite, even defferential, probably due to her gender and race. But that mindset led him to make several serious mistakes that could have cost his life. He allowed her to talk on the phone and return to the car several times when at any point she could have retrieved the pistol and shot him. Wasn't it initially a felony stop and shouldn't she have been detained in handcuffs before searching the car and backpack? I only guess th pack search was legal because it was in the felons car. And when she resisted inside the car he pulled on her arm (instead of her head/hair which would forced off balance) as she was reaching for the gun. He should have fired as soon as he saw the gun but instead asked, "ma'am, please drop the gun".
In the end she got more respect than she deserved.
It's easy to talk about this incident from here but I'm with Hummer. The officer was more than lenient with that suspect. As well documented as this incident is, hopefully others can learn from it.
IMO his mistake, and a major pucker factor watching it, was. He let her not only approach the open door, but allowed her to enter / access the vehicle, more than once.
But as mentioned.
Thanks to the, ALL COPS ARE TRIGGER HAPPY RACIST, mantra we are bludgeoned with by sjw's, media and politicians. He went out of his way to not appear threatening, in any manner. Which will cause more incidents where cops are attacked. Sometimes with a sad outcome, for all involved.
Or was issued a non written "order" from higher up to avoid any interaction, that would be deemed racist.
I know the nypd has "unofficially" suggest leniency be given to anyone not caucasian .
Considering their in one door, out the other, with the no bail policy.
It's no wonder why cops are hesitant to handle things, w/out jeopardizing their safety.
And this is part of the price of the BLM movement. The officer gave her more leeway than he should have, probably because he didn't want to deal with a racial incident. Had he treated her like a 20-something white boy and cuffed her immediately, she would probably be alive and he wouldn't have been shot.
Happens all the time. Didnt get a good hit.

From a news source covering this story...
Once he realized that the felon was not in the car, didn't he need some kind of "probable cause" to search anything (her bag) ?Quote:
The Metro Field Training Officer approached the car and learned that the owner of the car with the outstanding warrants was not the person driving at the time.
The video starts with him demanding the bag. Did not give her a choice.
NOT defending her, just asking.
Once stopped, there were likely other issues that got his attention. When they have a probable cause to stop the vehicle with darkly tinted windows, that doesn't mean that's the only issue the officer is allowed to address once they're stopped.
Who knows what kind of drugs she was on. Tazers aren't perfect. Far from it.
