How dare you ignore her deadly weapon, the pot of water that she was pouring down the drain.
They could have gotten wet, potentially, if she would have shown any sign of intention to throw it at them.
But if they didn’t shot her they could have maybe gotten wet, if they also didn’t move.
This is the kind of chaos, fear, traumas and danger or finest have to deal with every day! So it is very understandable if they decide to announce their intentions (“I can shoot you in your fucking face”) and then do it once she begs for forgiveness (“please! I’m sorry! I’m sorry!”)
Come on… It was a pot of boiling hot water. If she did throw it at the cops that could do a lot of damage. I’m not saying it looked like she was going to throw it and I don’t think the shooting was justified, but don’t pretend like the cops would’ve just “gotten wet”. It doesn’t look good when you lie.
From that distance? With all the options in the world for cover and escape?
Yeah, you might be right, but my “lie” here changes absolutely nothing in the actual levels of danger that these cops were in, since she did not ahow any sign of aggression and wasn’t holding a deadly weapon like a gun.
What do you mean from that distance? By the time he shot her they were <5 feet apart.
You’re right, it doesn’t change the fact that the cop completely failed at controlling the situation and she is now dead because of that, but it muddy’s the water and creates conversations that don’t need to be had (like this).
I don’t know why you seem to think that getting boiling water thrown at you would be like taking a hot shower, but that could seriously mess someone up for life.
Yep, and I bet there were peaches on the counter. If she took the stones out of all the peaches and ground them up to a fine powder and chemically concentrated the cyanide, she could have offered a nice innocent tea that would have been deadly. Good thing he defended against such threats
Ye, every time I’m in a diner, if I see a waitress even glance toward that coffee pot or the tea kettle, I’m pulling my gold plated Desert Eagles and mag-dumping right there. I have to do it. It’s self-defense
Are you saying a knife couldn’t be threatening just because it’s used in a diner? What a stupid comment. Again, I’m not justifying the shooting, I think the cop fucked up to let it even get to that point, but don’t pretend like it was just a “pot of water”. You can still criticize the officer without lying about the facts.

Who else would protect us?!
Afraid of getting wet? Those policemen were pussies. That’s no excuse for what they did. Now if there were acorns involved…

He didn’t “fail to control the situation” he straight up stated that he will murder her and then did.
He kept approaching her.
All he had to do was back away. Or even maintain his distance.

Wtf are you talking about? Are you denying that a pot of boiling water would be easy to throw at someone and severely mess them up?
