Where do you see her put the gun down at?
I'm at a loss not sure what your looking at.

Here's another view of this incident. The first one has a false perspective. The woman looks like she's right next to the cop. She was about 100ft away - possibly more. Just look at these brave men. I'm still suspicious of this incident. She sets the gun down. She drops the jacket and in that same hand, she has something she also tosses to the ground. This isn't what it appears to be,

Does anyone think that the MSM should use the second video I posted? Hmmm? How would that look on the big screen? They all look like such brave guys there, standing over 100ft away, behind vehicles with flak jackets on. Then they blast the # out of her like a turkey the day before Thanksgiving. Oh all from very far away where no one was at risk unless of course it was Mrs. Smith standing there. Then they'd all be dead.edit on 18-11-2013 by Bilk22 because: (no reason given)

Smart...so next time someone has a gun and is walking towards you please take out your phone and video yourself walking towards them in a calm manner and show us how brave you are.
You have to either be very young or very naive....I am going with young on this one.

With volume, hell yeah. Listen to it. Aside from the moron swearing and "F'n the police" the people in the background make perfect sense. That stand off was for 2 hours. Got anything else?
No sound isn't off and I didn't say she drops them before. She drops them clearly after the shooting, but not as if she lost control and released them. She shoves the gun off toward the curb. She drops the jacket and then in that same hand, there's another object that she also tosses toward the curb. Now if I were suspicious I'd say the second thing was a blood pack I'm sure there are other people around the net that see what I see and have better capability of dissecting this video with something more sophisticated than what I have. But all that aside, the cop clearly wasn't in jeopardy of being shot. The first video they used because it shortens the field and makes it look like she's right next to the cop, approaching him with a gun and that he had no choice. It's not at all the case. He was at least 30 yards away.

Nope she only drops her things after she is shot.
Could it be that your sound is off? not trying to start trouble but the only time she drops her things are after the gun shots start.
Not off but not in sync with video.edit on 18-11-2013 by thesaneone because: cause i can
What bystanders? If they didn't know about the gun, why did they wait two hours? You're not making sense.

Im guessing they didnt shoot her because they didnt see the toy gun until just before she was shot. She seemed to wait until the responding crowd of officers was large enough to be sure she would be shot. She may have been crazy and unstable but her aim was clear. She left those officers no way out because from the time she pulled out that toy until being shot was not very long to think about how to not kill her but gaurentee bystaders saftey.
They're after the 2nd Amendment, no? This is just one more incident. However maybe they didn't expect a second video to exist. So now it's not even news any more. Ask yourself that question. The cops mow down a woman, not matter what her state of mind was, in a hail of bullets and this has just mostly disappeared from the news cycle. Ah another normal day in LA I guess.

Why do you think firemen are universally loved and cops reviled?

If I could have handled the situation the same way, as you suggest, then what do we need trained cops for? They have other means to subdue people yet they now choose to not use them.
