Ironically, since it wasn't a major metro police department with a strong union....there is a chance they actually had them....and they weren't "malfunctioning".
Good job by the police, she deserved to die. And of course the reaction will be off base and unfair. But don't think for a minute that the police did not create this environment of distrust and pushback from the AA community after decades of unfair treatment.
she was definitely not playing with a full deck. This is the kind of scourge that shouldn't be allowed to breed.
"An African-American woman was killed and a boy was injured during a standoff near Baltimore in which, police say, the woman aimed a shotgun at officers while holding the 5-year-old in one arm."
"At around 3 p.m., after hours of a standoff, the woman threatened officers verbally and with the weapon, according to the police account.
One police officer fired a single shot, to which the suspect fired back. Officers responded with further shots and the woman was struck. The 5-year-old boy in the apartment also was hit in the crossfire."
I'm just curious...
While I have no problem with the police shooting in this case...at least as it appears to have happened, you say she was mentally unbalanced ("not playing with a full deck"). In your view, are all mentally unbalanced people a "scourge", or just the ones that you don't like?

she was beyond mentally unbalanced. anyone who holds her child in one arm and points a gun at cops for 6 HOURS with the other would have been better off not breeding.

Watch the video of her getting pulled over due to having no tags. The vehicle had to be towed and she refused to get out. She didn't show up for a court hearing which led to an arrest warrant and her death. She knew this was going to happen and she drag her kid into this and use him as a shield.
