Which in operations where they are entering local community they are likely to be working with local law enforcement, I am sure that can be checked but I would be highly suspect if they are not working in conjunction with local law enforcement.
As to seeing her hands, I mean, I have seen two videos and you can clearly see she has both hands on the wheel, so the perceived threat of a gun threat as I can tell. I have sympathy with US enforcement and the threat of guns, I have said it on here multiple times, but sorry, I don't think adding that into the pot to try and trump on the charges on why she was a threat are relevant here TBH
As my mate said it was a tactical bodge job:
Hello Mate, yeah, Liverpool good, am back in Essex soon so lets have a beer. Been a hot subject for days. Ultimately The vehicle's movement appears slow and short-range, with no clear evidence of high-speed ramming or direct impact. The officer, who was hit stands in front of the vehicle, we would be called up for creating the threat through poor tactical awareness, even had this not have ended up as it did, I would have been pulled over the coals for being tactically inept. The agent who tested the door should have tested once, you know straight away its locked and you step back again, tactically to take yourself out of danger, he should have then tried to talk her down off the ledge, I would say there is an argument that they created a fight or flight response from the woman. The driver despite being a nuisance and a threat to public order was generally appearing to be low in tone from her voice, he dialogue was not threatening and neither were her physical actions, no finger pointing, no reaching for a weapon, if she was stopped outside the car, you wouldn't have written her up as someone showing any signs of being threatening. She is a non target civilian, not known to the police, she was blocking the street and at least in the UK a car is considered a potential deadly weapon, but we are given wide context on that and I would be shocked if she met the threshold required here for it to have been considered to be in that situation, taking in account what I said earlier, stationary, slow potential for pace etc. In the UK even shooting at moving vehicles in high pursuit is heavily restricted by guidelines. Our first priority would be de-escalation, and firearms are rarely discharged and I can't remember one that has been in incidents much worse in the last calendar year. The fact they shot her here would suggest a lack of training or application of that training, I can see 3/4 points where they failed tactically and that's before the guns fired . The difference from here to there is not the training its a difference in reliance on a weapon, they would have talked her off a ledge had they not had the gun, having the gun available is the driving factor in why she was shot, not her actions IMO and I would be shocked if they avoid some jail time here had the situation been the same. Anyway, more cheerful stuff lets get over to see Grays before they go out of business you old clam
