Say her nameeeeeeeee!

Exactly. I watched it twice and still can't understand why she isn't dead.

She made it a block and died in the hospital! Luckily the officer did not get run over by this nutcase!

What will happen is the same as the Floyd case. Family will sue and the city will settle rather than go to court. Millions to a corrupt and crooked lady's family. Lawyers will get the biggest share, but there will be a lawsuit, almost certain!

Why didnt he dry his gun up is the question? Because he was just shot in a gun battle. I know all of you would have walked away unharmed but he did everything right- He had a deadly encounter and is still on the clean side of the dirt. Like I said before - a bunch of folks here saying what they would have done that have never been there

He entered that adrenaline tunnel by the looks of it. I'm not sure anyone can say how they would truly react until they get that kind of adrenaline spike.

Very observant, I see. Lol

This. When I took the full ride in the academy my instructor placed a lead right under my belt in the back. The other lead was placed either on the bottom of my pants leg or top of my sock. Can’t remember. What I do remember is when that tham dang got ahold of me I literally thought it was going to blow my right leg off. No one, I repeat, no one walked off that mat. I saw the biggest guy in our class crawl and squeal like a pig when he took the ride while others simply collapsed and rode the current.

Maybe it's a case of the age of the equipment. Are these things tested or calibrated for voltage?

Even more importantly, can the stock capacitors be replaced with bigger ones?

Someone call Doc Brown and see if he’s got any extra flux capacitors

jFisher. We ran a spark test at beginning of shift- also has battery % in big digital numbers at the rear. You can hear them arc when you spark test and when battery gets below about 70% you can tell. I think we changed battery at 80%

She can’t claim anything from a pine box...

You’re right. Didn’t read it all the way.
But guess what. The family will suit because she feared for her life. Ha!

You need to not be so sensitive. Nobody in this thread said what you're implying we said.
"all of you would have walked away unharmed." Nope, nobody said that.
"a bunch of folks here saying what they would have done." Nope, nobody said what they'd of done either.
We're asking questions, trying to understand moments like these & you're crying "oooh, a bunch of tough guys".
Nut up buttercup & learn how to carry on a conversation.

Doug is right- hard to watch. He did a heck of a job - he is still alive and able to talk about it. Everyone saying what they would have done or anything else aint ever been there

You know that I have the experience, over 37 years and have been involved in shootings (but not hit) but I believe with a certainty that I would’ve handled it different. Not the very end when the gun fight started but before that. He left the door open during half the traffic stop which is a no-no, period. He turned his back to her and look completely away. He allowed her continually to go back in the car which I would have never done.

Yes he survive which is awesome. He responded to the challenge at the end and did what he had to do. To say he did not make several major mistakes would be a folly. It is not to criticize but to learn.

Many years ago when I was an FTO I was training an officer. It was a routine and appear to be a very low-key traffic stop. We had the man on the side of the road and he said let me go back and get my ID from the pickup. The officer handling the traffic stop said OK. I immediately the driver and pulled him away from the truck door. Overreaction? I reached into the truck and he had it loaded revolver on the seat under a rag. It turned out he had felony warrants. Was he only going to hide the gun? Was he going to shoot us? I don’t know but I know what looked like a completely routine stop could have ended in tragedy. The officer that I was training was in tears, literally, when she saw what it happened. She told me, I could have been killed. My answer was something like, absolutely.

This officer was not on a routine traffic stop. Although we should always be vigilant, he should’ve been hyper vigilant and acted accordingly. I bet if he goes back on full duty, he will not make the same mistake again. The rest of us would be foolish not to learn from this and hopefully his injuries are not in vain.

In my opinion...

TVC- lots could have been done before it became spincter clutching. Will he watch and become better and change is way of business- he better. How will he act/react if he is put in a powder burning situation? Once its flying both ways he deals with the threat- creates some distance- and appears to keep some focus toward the threat- survived the encounter.

Folks always watch and ask questions as to why Officer did or didnt do XYZ? The luxury of stop, rewind, watch again in slo motion. As strange as it will sound to most there is not a lot of thought process involved- you just do- hopefully you have trained and thought out simular situations and it just happens with a positive outcome.

LFD- sorry if you took it wrong. It gets old and sometimes questions are taken as a statement. Nobody will be able to answer the question of why he didnt shoot x number of times. He was in an encounter where once it starts not alot of energy goes to thought process. If im guessing- he exchanged with her point blank- knew he now needed to create some distance and was not moving well at all by the time she is leaving. Sure justified in continuing to shoot but not sure if physically capable at that point. If asked in the future he probably will honestly not know the answer to your question

Labman sums it up bout right..

[Killer]

He is lucky she did not kill him before she drove off. She could of shot him through the windshield, side glass or just over the drivers door before she left. Had it been a male suspect it would not have ended so well for the officer IMO.

Your screwed as a cop. He should have shot her the second he saw the gun, instead of saying "mama put the gun down", but he would he under grand jury review had he shot her then!! It's real easy to 2nd guess and armchair these things after the fact.
God Bless all cops and what they do!!
