The woman killed was a 14 year US Air Force veteran from San Diego. Her name is Ashli Babbitt which I will never forget as she was gunned down in cold blood. The cop that shot her nearly point blank endangered the police officers that were right behind her. Did he need to use deadly force against an unarmed woman? Here is the video closeup.

cops kill unarmed ppl all the time they have a serious case of needle dick syndrome..personally if you shoot or kill someone whos unarmed. As a cop you should be swinging from a tree in my opinion...
Unarmed and not a threat are two totally different things.
Stats and facts show that when cops do kill unarmed people ( it does not actually happen all the time ) most often they are running resisting and or reaching.
It tends to happen in a situation where the officer is looking at someone who's not responding to commands and appears to be reaching for what might be a weapon.
People don't know how to just let a police encounter happen, they always have to argue / explain, give excuses / lies, and resist.
I am not aware of a single instance in the past 10 years where a police officer shot an unarmed person who was not resisting arrest and or acting very sketchy.
so what cops aint supposed to be god ...tell ya what 4 yrs to be a nurse and save a life or 6 months of training to take a life...guess who i respect and trust.... As for being sketchy im one of those people from adhd symptoms to being borderline autistic i behave "sketchy" my hands are constantly moving and i cant maintain eye contact i also cant sit still. So i got 3 of the signs theyre trained tolook for when someone being "sketchy" so should i be shot cause i put my hands in my pocket.
i hope you respect me and listen to what i say. what you do with it is up to you.
in my family there is two emr's, 1 emt-soon to be paramedic, 1 paramedic, 2 doctors and 1 nurse. what that means is i know a few people in the medical and fire field. they run the gamut of political views, they are trained to watch for behaviour much like police. and much like police there are assholes, there are bigots and there are people that should not be in that line of work. matter of fact i know some of them that are down right despicable. those that deserve to be held up should be and those that don't should get a kick in the ass.
police, deputies, highway patrol, etc? same thing, there are bad ones as well but most are good and at the end of the day want to go home to their families like the rest of us. the difference? how often does someone point a gun at or threaten someone in the medical or rescue field? not very often. law enforcement? i think you know the answer.
the simple fact is, the chances of being harmed by law enforcement or law enforcement getting harmed is because they are the ones that have to go into dangerous situations. i know, i have waited for law enforcement to make things safe before i have responded to something.
if you are worried dustin, there is at least 2 ways around it.
1. don't put yourself in the situation. stay clear of bad and or stupid shit.
2. communicate. if one finds themselves in a bad situation fully cooperate and communicate with authorities, especially if you have medical issues, physical issues or habits that may give them concern.
if you follow those 2 rules your chances of being harmed are minute.
