Cops have a dangerous job, and (rightfully so), they are constantly on edge. There is no way in the world imo that this woman intentionally shot that guy. No more than Alex Baldwin shot the cinematographer intentionally.
Did she choke under pressure? Yes. Maybe she should have never been hired. Or maybe they did an inadequate job of training her. Don't they have simulators these days? Methods to train these people under pressure? Those are expensive af I'd imagine, so I'm sure whatever town she was in didn't have them. It goes back to my post long ago that if we really want police reform, it will be slow, but there needs to be a university established with lots of Federal bucks, that teaches nothing but how to be an intelligent cop. Congress could pass a law that says after ... 2032... any new hires to any law enforcement agency in the US must have a degree from this place. But I digress. As always.
You can bet they'll be digging deep into everything she has ever said or written on social media. One politically incorrect FB or TWTR post on her part in the last 30 years, and they'll be painting her as a grand wizard of the Klan.
She'll get off. The family should go after the local municipality for hiring someone who cracked under pressure and/or wasn't adequately challenged enough in training to deal with the threats cops now have to deal with unfortunately.
