She lived in the area so I thought she might be a local known crazy so maybe the cops were not that threatened.
But I don't understand how she pointed a gun at a cop and did not get shot. If she were a black male, she'd probably be dead.
It also said she was in her car and wearing body armor.it doesn't say if the cops fired upon her or not. As I said, incomplete article, lazy journalism.
In New York, that would have been an automatic kill if she was Black.
I really get sick of the people with racial chips on their shoulders. I would bet black women are less likely to get killed by the police than black men as well. It may not be right, but many things in our culture that are ingrained in us, favor the fairer sex.
I know it sounds trite to say now days when women are suppose to be able to be cops, firemen, etc., but are not expected to throw themselves into harms way like a man would be expected to.
They get enormous advantages in the court system, interactions with police, rescue efforts, etc.
Though it might not be an official rule, I'd bet if a sinking ship were going under and people were headed to the lifeboats, the call for women and children first would be issued.
Makes you wonder if feminists would be saying "don't take me first just because I am a woman".
