All she had to do was comply. Just obey the officer's orders.
Isn't that what the hard right says when its an unarmed black man that gets killed by the police?
Did you see the video, they were no stand down orders from the police just a gunshot. Believe me I watched several videos from different angles. She was murdered.
They already do that. Since George Floyd there have been 95 killings of black men and women shot and killed by the police. The blue lives matter folks always think police shootings against black unarmed men are justified.
If you research each one of those shootings, I would bet every one of them was justified.
Not only is it a highly questionable (and highly unusual) shooting of an unarmed the media has staunchly protected the identity of the shooter. That is never the case when we hear of a police shooting of unarmed victims nowadays. Obviously, there is a narrative to support but this sort of secrecy fuels all sorts of speculation.
What makes you think the media is protecting his identity?

Even when the police shot a black man seven times in the back?
The fact they will not print his name or mention anything regarding his description or biography.
Quite a contrast to recent practice regarding the shooting of unarmed civilians. Apparently the smart practice is to put all the facts out there and to be as transparent as possible so as not to inflame the public.
But not in this case.
BTW Mr Blake (who is alive) was clearly armed with a knife and did not comply with repeated and clear directives to drop it and halt (following a protracted physical scuffle and taser) His shooter, Officer Sheskey, was immediately and publicly identified in the press.

They're probably trying to protect the officer from the deranged and out of control MAGAs taking revenge on him and his family. Releasing his identity would put him in grave danger. We've seen what MAGAs do to cops.

What makes you think the federal government has released his identity to the media?
I'm wondering if the Secret Service would release the identity of one of their agents who shot someone in the course of doing their job.

This happened on TV there are multiple angles, in the middle of live insurrection, the bulletin boards can argue this and we can live in this alternate reality, but there really isnt any official push because the facts are so clear, you dont even hear her family complaining, she was a good 3 ft off teh ground there is no question as her intent, you clearly hear gun! gun!.
She was unarmed and the situation was in hand. (It may be the shooter was unaware of that.) She was shot dead by the only shot fired that day.
Of course there is an investigation of the shooting.
Folks are having a difficult time thinking of another example of an unarmed woman deliberately shot dead at close range in broad daylight by a cop. Under any circumstances. Doesn’t necessarily mean it is unjustified or the result of a mixup beyond the control of the shooter (we’ll wait for the investigation).
The situation was in hand? In what alternate universe? Why do I ask? Because it’s clear you haven’t watched the videos. That was a chaotic crazed mob. Period. Situation in hand, my foot. My good. You people will go to any length. Won’t you?
