The Washington Post reports that a police officer has been charged with "first-degree manslaughter" after the on-duty, fatal shooting of Terence Crutcher in Tulsa, Oklahoma. If found guilty, she would be imprisoned for at least four years. KJRH-TV has a transcript of the district attorney's press conference.

I think you'll find that 'fear for my life' in cop-speak is a euphemism for 'met or approached the well understood minimum standard for shooting' without any actual fear. A surprising number of fit 6ft tall Irish cops seem to have the same kind of 'fear'.
...but you HAVE heard of me.

I didn't say anything about the "fear for my life" BS cops use, I'm talking ACTUAL fear. Listen to her voice, listen to how high and agitated it is...she is just about ready to piss her pants....why? Because she is this little tiny weak thing that has no more muscle mass than your average bank teller and was sadly probably hired to check a box on the "diversity" pamphlet.
I hope all those that push for diversity hiring take a real good look, because that is what you get...you get people that are completely and wholly unqualified to do the job being hired not because of their skill or abilities but because of sex or skin color. There is a reason why the other cop grabbed the taser, because he was not scared half to death and knew one zap would end the situation, she was small, weak, and facing someone twice her size so no shit her first reaction is gonna be to grab a gun. Like I said she was a tragedy waiting to happen and if it hadn't been this guy it would have been another down the line, she was just too frail and weak for the job she was doing.
ACs are never seen so don't bother. Always ready to show SJWs for the racists they are.

And you know all this because this one case of someone who has a "high and agitated" voice also happens to be 124lbs totally proves that being small means feeling weak.
> There is a reason why the other cop grabbed the taser,
And you know what the reason is because bigotry. Yours that is.
Get over yourself you self-important schmuck.
